The ROSE X.25 Packet Switch is the most advanced Packet Radio Packet Switch available. It has been in development for over 3 years and is based upon almost a decade of experience in the communications industry. It is based upon the international standard for data communications, CCITT X.25. This fact has made acceptance of it's use very quick and easy in every country where the regulators have been asked, over a dozen to date. This fact may not seem important at this time. As true International Networking, not just systems forwarding mail but a Global interactive network develops the regulators will become more interested in the activities. If the networks are running with the protocols that are used in the commercial networks, then the regulators will not panic and have a knee-jerk reaction. In many countries ALL data going in-to or out-of the country Must go on an X.25 connection.
