A Position Paper on Computing and Communications The effective operation of free enterprise in creating the envisioned information service industry is dependent upon three accomplishments: (1) the restructuring of our information processing industry so that a clear division of costs is made among computing, communications, and the development of information services; (2) the wide use of multiaccess system concepts so that information services may share in the use of computer installations and so that the cost of their construction is reasonable; and (3) the development of public, message-switched communications services so that adequate provisions are made for information security.
