Message-ID: <Pine.PMDF.3.91.960605154700.732009049E-100000@SLUVCA.SLU.EDU> Date: Wed, 5 Jun 1996 15:59:55 -0600 From: Jerry Katz at Saint Louis University <mailto:katzja@SLUVCA.SLU.EDU> Subject: INTERNET technology availability outside of the USA To: Multiple recipients of list DEVEL-L <mailto:DEVEL-L@AMERICAN.EDU>
I would appreciate any information from participants of these lists regarding the availability of different types of INTERNET technologies around the world. In particular how widely available is access to email, gophers, ftp, nongraphical World Wide Web browsers (e.g. celleo, Lynx) and graphical browsers such as Netscape and Mosaic.I am also concerned about the cost to users in academia, government, and business of using these different technologies.
For either question, any response or experience would be useful.
I have agreed to serve as chair for the Technology Committee for the International Council for Small Business - an organization operating in over 40 nations. I am looking for help in assessing what types of technologies we should use to deliver information and access to ICSB materials to members and to the small business and economic development communities worldwide.
Please feel free to respond to me via email. You are also welcome to respond via my WWW site (http://www.slu.edu/eweb). Although email is not enabled in my gopher site, you can check it out also (gopher://egopher.slu.edu:71).
I will be meeting with my colleagues at the ICSB World Conference in Stockholm, June 15, and will take your result there. I will, of course post summaries to these lists later in the month.
Thanks for your assistance.
Jerry Katz
