It was a sharing type of thing." Cole said that there was absolutely no indication that the c a c h e of images was part of a money-making operation, He also insisted the repository was not a cover for an ultra sophisticated espionage programme, a speculation m a d e by computer experts. "Employees are already entrusted with inside information, and creating an image depository would be a roundabout way of accessing anything confidential", t;e said, Cole says e d u c a t i o n and increased awareness by supervisors will be key in the future. At this time he sees no way to keep an eye on every p i e c e of information stored in the lab's 18 @00 computers, but plans of file monitoring are being discussed with the Department of Energy, which funds the lab.

FBI spokesperson Doug Perez says a squad is investigating the Lawrence Livermore case, and that they are "looking at it very seriously". But despite its seriousness, Perez said that this case has not c h a n g e d the FBI's priority of investigating computer hackers. While the misuse of computer storage is wrong, security analyst Sandra Jones said that the Lawrence livermore lab case shouldn't invoke too much worry; it didn't involve the acquisition of high-security information. "1 d o n ' t see if as any different than a boy stealing Playboys and hiding them behind the garage"', Jones said, laughing.

Changes to c o m e for DCS The European market for Data Communications Services (DCS) is currently undergoing a transition period which will result in a c o m p l e t e transformation of network infrastructure, According to a new report released by Frost & Sullivan, this c h a n g e is from Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy, characterized
by inflexible switching and narrow b a n d services, to Synchronous Digital Hierarchy with flexible switching technology and broad band services. The report predicts that the DCS will rise from the 1994 level of $17 010.5 million to reach $27 034 million by the end of 1999. The report says, ", "The development of variable bandwidth DCS are crucial from a service provider's point of view, In a time of increasing
