- Subject: Justification for internet
- Lines: 30
-
- All of us who use the services of the Internet know the value but to
- some of the administrators at technical schools, the cost of the
- internet connection seems worthless!!! So I have been asked to assist
- in gathering more information that they might deem important enough
- for the connection.
-
- The state Technical schools in South Carolina are all linked with their
- own network but it doesn't connect to anything else! Therefore with my
- account at the University of South Carolina, I cannot send email to
- my colleagues at the tech schools.
-
- The tech schools are all connected by the State Board for Technical
- Education. Some of their employees have discussed that the internet
- connection would provide access to databases, bitnet lists and other
- resources but the administrators still do not see the need as they
- see their system as sufficient and providing the needs for state
- reporting options which they feel they would lose security if they
- used an internet system instead...
-
- This is a brief background that I received at a meeting on Wed..
- we'd appreciate any comments, suggestions.
