Nebo se mylim? >> > Clarification and more information on an individual Internet access options in the U.S. I think this information might be useful, even though technically it does not belong to this group. Please excuse I have switched to English, but I am not familiar with the Czech telecommunication lingo. Yes, it is an individual account using so called SLIP (or TIA, or PPP) connection. It is a dial-up connection using regular phone line. This is why the speed is limited to 28.8kbs. There is no charge for a local phone call of unlimited length. The connection cost is included in telecommunication's company service charge ($20 a month). Another CONNECTION option is to have an individual account with a local Internet provider using a leased line 56.6kbs or 128kbs. This requires a special line (still copper though) installed by the telecommunication company. The going rate for this connection is $50 to $100 a month. Different PROVIDER option is go with the big guys such as Compuserve, America On Line or Prodigy. Typical charge is $15 a month and 10 free hours. Not all of them provide a full Internet access and a user is limited to their software (e.g. very slow WWW browser on Prodigy). The communication speed may vary according to a geographical area. The base of Internet users in the U.S. is shifting from traditional university and government users to corporate and individual accounts. There is a lot of publicity on Internet in media and it is regarded by many people as a future Information Superhighway. If anyone interested in more information, please contact me via a private mail.
