ess and the efficiency of their communications.
Some technological innovations, such as fiber optics transmission, simply translate into improved quality and speed of existing telecommunications media telephone services, as an example. Other innovations, however, lead to the develop ment of new telecommunications media. Satellite communications technology, for example, make videoconferencing possible.
Because a new means of telecommunications is made pos sible by technological innovation, however, does not automa tically mean that a new telecommunications medium will be feasible for organizational application. The costs involved, as one example, may dictate against its use. Further, even when a new telecommunications medium is feasible, it may not be appropriate for all
