I am looking for information on when technology transition from the research 
and development stage and transfered to off-the-shelf stage.  In concerned, I 
am looking for when R&D started on the following fields and when they enter 
into the production market.  I understand that there is a lot of grey area 
around these dates, but I am looking for journals, news items, and/or history 
articles which summarize the following technologies;

   A.  Telephone Switch

   B.  Satellite Communication

   C.  The modern day computer

   D.  Fiber-Optic

   E.  Store and Forward digital switches

   F.  Higher Lever Computer languish

   G.  Local Area Networks

Any information you can provide is appreciated.
