Late 1980s early 1990s: The war of all against all: IXCs
(AT&T, MCI, GTE, WorldCom, ), RBOCs (Baby Bells),
Wireless (cellular phones), Cables, DSS, TV network,
Contents vs. Carriers,
- War gears: more optical fiber trunking, coax, microwave bands,
higher-speed electronics, digital signal processors, networking gears

Network architecture: LAN, MAN, WAN independently
evolved: Ethernet, FDDI, SONET/SDH, ATM, IP
(Internet): heavy overhead layers; complex OAM&P
(operations, administration, maintenance & provisioning)
to get compatibility
Network equipment: unoptimized, electronic speed limit
