=== Early years === PSS suffered from inconsistent investment during its early years. Sometimes not enough and sometimes too much but mostly for the wrong reasons. BT's attitude to packet switching was ambivalent at best. France's [[Transpac (network)|Transpac]] had a separate commercial company with dedicated management and saw X.25 packet switching as a core offering. BT's then senior management regarded packet switching as a passing phase until the telecommunications nirvana of ISDN's 64 kbit/s for everyone arrived.<ref name=":8">{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=y-tFrTTweRIC&pg=PA337 |title=The "Hidden" Prehistory of European Research Networking |publisher=Trafford Publishing |isbn=978-1-4669-3935-6 |pages=28 |language=en}}</ref>
