Test driving Iowa's FDDI superhighway.
Iowans soon will communicate in a new light: the Iowa Communications Network is a statewide fiber optic network that can change education, and hopefully healthcare, in the state. Users at five Iowa hospitals will enjoy direct access to the ICN because of their affiliated School of Nursing programs. Preparations at Iowa Methodist Medical Center for educational programming over the ICN will put most of the components in place that will be used during a July 22, 1993, demonstration.
