The Minnesota Regional Network is a mid-level network,
founded in 1987 for the purpose of providing access to the
NSFNET for organizations in the Minnesota area. It is
presently established as a nonprofit corporation with active
participation by member organizations. Its mission is to
provide and facilitate the use of computer networks in order
to enhance the high-technology research and educational
environment, and to increase the productivity and competi-
tiveness of businesses throughout the state. The primary
tasks of MRNet are to promote, facilitate, and support con-
nectivity; disseminate information on computer networking
and technologies; pursue connections to other networks; pro-
vide a forum for the investigation of computer network
issues; and contribute to state, national and international
planning in computer net- works.
MRNet's membership is made up of public universities,
private colleges, private research foundations, government
agencies, and many large and small businesses.
