 PREFACE 

At Telephone Services, our mission is to provide the University community with innovative telecommunications and mainstream technology, such as Caller I.D. and fiber optics. This technology plays an integral role in supporting the development of programs, grants, research, and day-to-day communication. We acquire, install, and maintain telecommunications equipment and services for the University of Tennessee, and we supply the necessary infrastructure upon which information is exchanged, including telephony, data circuits, and cable television programming. In supplying this infrastructure, Telephone Services is helping the University of Tennessee become a connected campus and fostering a successful business relationship with the students, faculty, and staff.
