Summary:

NASA has yet to finalize its strategy for consolidating the management and the operations of its wide-area telecommunications network, although it has made some important decisions. NASA plans to begin consolidating its networks immediately at the Marshall Space Flight Center and procuring services from commercial providers in fiscal year 1998. NASA's decision to consolidate its networks offers the potential for savings. Nevertheless, in adopting its current strategy, NASA neither considered alternatives suggested by officials at centers other than Marshall nor tried to do a complete review of its networking needs to determine how best to satisfy them independently of its ongoing networking activities.
