GAO focuses on four FTS 2000 services: switched voice and dedicated transmission, which constitute the bulk of FTS 2000 use, and packet switched and compressed video transmission. As of March 1996, 139 agencies and other government entities were using telecommunications services provided under the FTS 2000 contracts. GAO's comparison of telecommunications costs incurred by a sample of agencies that use non-FTS 2000 networks with what FTS 2000 would cost produced mixed results, with some costs comparable, some less, and others more. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-96-95/html/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-96-95.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-96-95/pdf/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-96-95.pdf GAO/AIMD-96-95 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-96-95 Letter Report GAO/AIMD-96-95; Telecommunications: FTS 2000 Cost Comparison; Service contracts Contract costs Cost control Cost effectiveness analysis Data transmission Telecommunication Federal Telecommunications System 2000 FTS 2000 FTS 2000 Price Redetermination/Service Reallocation DOD Defense Switched Network FAA Leased Interfacility National Airspace System Communications System Federal Reserve Network USPS Remote Bar Coding System USPS Integrated Telecommunications Network Volume 104 Page 2254 104 Stat. 2254 Public Law 101-520 Public Law 104-52 Public Law 104-106
