Business Opportunities of Electronic Mail

Future business opportunities associated with electronics mail will be examined in a group sponsored research program recently begun at Battelle's Columbus Laboratories. According to Battelle's Richard J. Bengston, who heads the study, the program is designed to be a user‐based view of the potential need and resulting market for electronic mail systems. The program, scheduled for completion in October 1979, is being sponsored by a number of companies in the communications, business machine, and related fields.
