  6. This file is an abridged chapter of "Internet: Getting Started," which
  7. is a document provided by SRI Network Information Systems Center that
  8. explains what the Internet is, different types of access, and access
  9. procedures.  The book also provides extensive background information
  10. about the Internet and lists several access providers.  This file is a
  11. list of those providers that offer services to places outside of the
  12. United States.  A companion file called
  13. Internet-access-providers-US.txt is also available on the host
  14. nisc.sri.com in the netinfo directory.

  27.                                       CHAPTER 7
  28.                                    NON-U.S. SITES
  29.  
  30.                The  Internet,  having originated in the United States,
  31.                is not surprisingly strongest and most diverse in  that
  32.                country.      However,  the  Internet  is  a  worldwide
  33.                enterprise  and  there  are  many  networks   in   many
  34.                countries   that   are   full   and   active   Internet
  35.                participants.  Larry Landweber  of  the  University  of
  36.                Wisconsin  maintains  a  file  describing international
  37.                connectivity, that covers not only IP connectivity, but
  38.                BITNET,  UUCP,  FidoNet,  and OSI connectivity as well.
  39.                According to the April 10, 1992 version of  this  file,
  40.                there   are   107   entities  (mostly  countries)  with
  41.                international connectivity.  This file is  included  in
  42.                Appendix IX for your information.
  43.  
  44.  
  45.                This  section  describes some of these networks.  These
  46.                descriptions are provided so that if you are in one  of
  47.                these  countries  and  would  like  to  connect  to the
  48.                Internet, you can contact the resource listed for  your
  49.                country and get started.
  50.  
  51.  
  52.                However,  what  if  you  are  in  a country that is not
  53.                listed here?   How  would  you  go  about  joining  the
  54.                Internet?    This  can  be  a  challenge  if  there  is
  55.                currently no Internet presence  in  your  country,  but
  56.                here are some ideas about how to get started.
  57.  
  58.  
  59.                First,  determine whether the top-level domain for your
  60.                country  has  been  delegated  by   the   DDN   Network
  61.                Information  Center.  That is, does the DDN NIC list an
  62.                administrative contact for that domain?  You  can  find
  63.                this out by contacting the DDN NIC:
  64.  
  65.                          Government Systems, Inc.
  66.                          Attn: Network Information Center
  67.                          14200 Park Meadow Drive
  68.                          Suite 200
  69.                          Chantilly, VA  22021
  70.                          800 365 3642
  71.                          +1 703 802 4535
  72.                          FAX: +1 703 802 8376
  73.                          hostmaster@nic.ddn.mil
  74.  
  75.  
  76.  
  77.                If  the DDN NIC does list someone, contact that person.
  78.                He is probably knowledgeable about networking  in  your
  79.                country and can help you get started.  You will need to
  80.                register your domain name with him as well.
  81.  
  82.  
  83.                If your country's domain has not been delegated,  there
  84.                is  probably no connection to the Internet based on the
  85.                TCP/IP protocols.  However,   there  may  be  at  least
  86.                electronic  mail  access based on other protocols.  You
  87.                may wish to check books that have  lists  of  networks.
  88.                For  example,  !%@::  A  Directory  of  Electronic Mail
  89.                Addressing and Networks by Donnalyn Frey and Rick Adams
  90.                [1],  The  Matrix  by  John  Quarterman [2], and Users'
  91.                Directory of Computer Networks by Tracy LaQuey [4] have
  92.                network  listings  that  are  much  more extensive than
  93.                 those provided here.  In addition, there are  a  couple
  94.                of  newsletters  that  often  discuss the international
  95.                aspects of networking.  One  is  the  Internet  Society
  96.                News  [5],  whose  first  volume  was issued in January
  97.                1992; another is Matrix News  [6],  offered  by  Matrix
  98.                Information   and   Directory   Services,  Inc.    More
  99.                information about each  of  these  newsletters  can  be
  100.                found in Section 13.
  101.  
  102.  
  103.                If  you  can find no established networking presence in
  104.                your country, you will have to start  from  scratch  by
  105.                contacting  possible providers and seeing what they can
  106.                do for you.  Some good places to start are:
  107.  
  108.                   - The commercial service  providers  listed  in
  109.                     Section  4.    As they are in the business of
  110.                     providing Internet connections, they are very
  111.                     motivated to help.  Some of them already have
  112.                     connections from the U.S. to other countries.
  113.                     These  particular  providers  are repeated in
  114.                     Section  7.17.    However,  some   of   their
  115.                     non-U.S.  connections  may  be due to special
  116.                     project   affiliations    or    some    other
  117.                     arrangement  that might make it difficult for
  118.                     these sites to help some  other  organization
  119.                     even  within  the  same  country  to join the
  120.                     Internet.
  121.  
  122.                   - The NSF Network Service  Center  (NNSC)  (see
  123.                     Section   11.6.2).      The   NNSC   is  very
  124.                     knowledgeable  about   connections   to   the
  125.                     Internet  from  other  countries  and  can be
  126.                     helpful in suggesting contacts or strategies.
  127.  
  128.                   - The   BITNET   Network   Information   Center
  129.                     (BITNIC)  (see  Section  11.6.4).    Although
  130.                     BITNET access is not full Internet access, it
  131.                     can  be used for electronic mail.  BITNET has
  132.                     a strong sister network in Europe called EARN
  133.                     (see Section 7.1.1.2).
  134.  
  135.                   - In  Europe,  the  RIPE  Network  Coordination
  136.                     Center (NCC) supports the  network  providers
  137.                     in  the  member  countries.  They may know of
  138.                     some activity in IP networking in  your  area
  139.                     and be able to refer you to a local contact.
  140.  
  141.                   - SRI Network Information Systems Center (NISC)
  142.                     cooperates in  collecting  information  about
  143.                     service  providers internationally and making
  144.                     such   information   available.      Whatever
  145.                     information  is known at the time of printing
  146.                     will  always  be  included  in   the   latest
  147.                     revision  of  this  document; however, during
  148.                     the   interims   between    printings,    new
  149.                     information  may  have  emerged that might be
  150.                     helpful.
  151.  
  152.  
  153.                The  following  sections  provide   information   about
  154.                specific countries.  We are grateful to the contacts in
  155.                these countries who have supplied this information  for
  156.                us.    If you are a provider of Internet access in your
  157.                country and do not see your  information  reflected  in
  158.                the  following sections, please feel free to send it to
  159.                us at SRI via the contact information provided  in  the
