Worried that a new computer company would find it difficult to arrange further financing, Doriot suggested the fledgling company change its business plan to focus less on computers, and even change their name from " Digital Computer Corporation ".

Starting in the late 1970s to the early 1980s, several types of video production equipment were introduced, such as time base correctors ( TBC ) and digital video effects ( DVE ) units ( one of the former being the Thomson-CSF 9100 Digital Video Processor, an internally all-digital full-frame TBC introduced in 1980, and two of the latter being the Ampex ADO, and the Nippon Electric Corporation ( NEC ) DVE ).

ATM was developed to meet the needs of the Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network, as defined in the late 1980s.

With the development of the internet, by the late 1990s and early 2000, much of that regulation had been replaced where newer industry technologies developed, offering viewers alternate choices for local events and programming leading to what is today, that being Digital Cable, Internet, and Phone being offered to consumers, bundled, by 2010.

Digital television ( including higher quality HDTV ) started to spread in most developed countries in early 2000s.

DPNSS was developed in the early 1980s by BT, or its forerunner, Post Office Telecommunications in recognition that the emerging Digital Private Circuit Primary Rate product ' Megastream ' had to address the market for both data and voice, the latter being significantly greater because of the market for PBXs.

The same limitations affected Digital Research's FlexOS 286 version 1. 0, a derivation of Concurrent DOS 286, developed in 1986, introduced in January 1987, and later adopted by IBM for their IBM 4690 OS.

The method was developed to replace the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy ( PDH ) system for transporting large amounts of telephone calls and data traffic over the same fiber without synchronization problems.

The IS-IS protocol was developed by Digital Equipment Corporation as part of DECnet Phase V. It was standardized by the ISO in 1992 as ISO 10589 for communication between network devices which are termed Intermediate Systems ( as opposed to end systems or hosts ) by the ISO.

Originally developed as the " Dartmouth Digital Synthesizer " by Dartmouth College Professor Jon Appleton, in association with NED co-founders Cameron W. Jones and Sydney A.
