Preface MPEG-2 (digital video compression standard created by the Moving Pictures Experts Group) and ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) can be regarded as the key technologies that will enable the digital video services to go past the academic stage and become a real end user success. These technologies are, however, only a small part of the Broadband Integrated Service Digital Network, or B-ISDN. When digital video services are distributed to the customers, the B-ISDN will be one of the most essential vehicles. Therefore, there will be a huge interaction and dependency between video services an...
