Halvor Bothner-By (August 20, 1938 - June 13, 2014)[1] was a telecommunication engineer of the Norwegian Telecommunications Administration.

He was a rapporteur on packet switching for the CCITT.[2] As such, he chaired the group that, in March 1975, proposed to the CCITT Recommendation X.2x on virtual circuits to be offered by public networks. After its unanimous approval at the May 1976 CCITT plenary, it became the famous X.25.[3]

He was also renowned for having, in the early seventies, coined the term datagram, later on highly successful.[4]
