    A Data Network Identification Code (DNIC) is a unique, four-digit 
number designed to provide discrete identification of individual public 
data networks. The DNIC is intended to identify and permit automated 
switching of data traffic to particular networks. The FCC grants the 
DNICs to operators of public data networks on an international 
protocol. The operators of public data networks file an application for 
a DNIC on the Internet-based, International Bureau Filing System 
(IBFS). The DNIC is obtained free of charge on a one-time only basis 
unless there is a change in ownership or the owner chooses to 
relinquish the code to the FCC. The Commission's lack of an assignment 
of DNICs to operators of public data networks would result in technical 
problems that prevent the identification and automated switching of 
data traffic to particular networks.
