Data services for the public
A public data network (PDN) is a network established and operated by a telecommunications administration, or a recognized private operating agency, for the specific purpose of providing data transmission services for the public. The first experimental public packet switching networks, RETD in Spain and RCP in France were deployed in 1972. "Public data network" was the common name given to the collection of X.25 providers, the first of which were Telenet in the United States and DATAPAC in Canada in 1976, and Transpac in France in 1978. The International Packet Switched Service became the first commercial and international packet switched network in 1978. The networks were interconnected with gateways using X.75. These combined networks had large global coverage during the 1980s and into the 1990s. The networks later provided the infrastructure for the early Internet.

In communications, a PDN is a circuit or packet switched network that is available to the public and that can transmit data in digital form. A PDN provider is a company that provides access to a PDN and that provides any of X.25, Frame Relay, or cell relay (ATM) services. Access to a PDN generally includes a guaranteed bandwidth, known as the committed information rate (CIR). Costs for the access depend on the guaranteed rate. PDN providers differ in how they charge for temporary increases in required bandwidth (known as surges). Some use the amount of overrun; others use the surge duration.

Experimental packet switching networks preceded the first public data networks which came into operation in the 1970s. Early examples include: Telenet in the United States, which began operation with proprietary protocols and adopted X.25 protocols shortly after they were published in 1976; DATAPAC in Canada, also in 1976, which was the first PDN specifically designed for X.25; Tymnet and CompuServe in the United States also adopted X.25. The International Packet Switched Service was the first commercial and international packet switched network. It was a collaboration between British and American telecom companies that became operational in 1978. The SITA Data Transport Network for airlines adopted X.25 in 1981, becoming the world's most extensive packet switching network. The networks were interconnected with gateways using X.75. These combined networks had large global coverage during the 1980s and into the 1990s. Over time, other packet switching technologies, including Frame Relay (FR) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) gradually replaced X.25. Many of these networks later adopted TCP/IP and provided the infrastructure for the early Internet.

A public switched data network (PSDN) is a network for providing data services via a system of multiple wide area networks, similar in concept to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). A PSDN may use a variety of switching technologies, including packet switching, circuit switching, and message switching. Originally the term PSDN referred only to Packet Switch Stream (PSS), an X.25 based packet switched network in the United Kingdom, mostly used to provide leased line connections between local area networks and the Internet using permanent virtual circuits (PVCs). Today, the term may refer not only to Frame Relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), both providing PVCs, but also to Internet Protocol (IP), GPRS, and other packet switching techniques. Whilst there are several technologies that are superficially similar to the PSDN, such as Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and the digital subscriber line (DSL) technologies, they are not examples of it. ISDN utilizes the PSTN circuit switched network, and DSL uses point to point circuit switching communications overlaid on the PSTN local loop (copper wires), usually utilized for access to a packet switched broadband IP network.

A public data transmission service is a data transmission service that is established and operated by a telecommunication administration, or a recognized private operating agency, and uses a public data network. A public data transmission service may include Circuit Switched Data, packet switched, and leased line data transmission.
