2. Telenet plans to establish central office facilities
containing Interface Message Processors (IMP) or Terminal
Interface Processors (TIP) or Satellite IMPs (SIMP) to which
customer's computers and terminals can be connected, and to
interconnect these facilities by means of high speed
transmission facilities leased from existing carriers.
Telenet's application requests authority to establish its
packet switching facilities initially in 18 cities. However,
within four years Telenet plans to expand its network through
the installation of packet switching facilities in an
additional 44 cities. Appropriate applications will be filed
as the network is expanded. The transmission facilities
required for the initial 18 city network include i2 leased
terrestrial lines operating at 50 kilobits and 100 kilobits
per second and a 1.544 Megabits per second multiaccess
'broadcast' communications satellite channel serving four
earth stations, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago and New York. The
use of satellite facilities is contingent upon the anticipated
availability of suitable multi-point satellite service from
one or more domestic satellite carriers.

6. On the basis of the information submitted by the
applicant, we find that Telenet has substantially complied
with the applicable provisions of Section 214 and part 63 of
our Rules and has made the requisite showing of public
interest to warrant our granting Telenet's application to
authorize it to lease and operate the facilities set forth in
the application for the establishment of a packet switched
network. We conclude that the present and future public
interest, convenience and necessity will be served by a grant
of the Telenet application to that extent. However, for the
reasons stated in our Packet and
Graphnet decisions, we shall
limit our authorization herein to the provision of
terminal-computer and computer-computer communications by
'packet-switching' as proposed by the applicant in the
application before us.
