Network Services are available on BT's digital exchanges (System X and
System Y) and are usually available on the payment of a quarterly rental,
though some are available solely on the payment of a per usage charge. The
charges shown below are correct as of BT's price list of 2nd September
1991, which is still current in April 1992.

All prices are in pounds sterling.
