Internet Access Providers in the NIS


Have you ever wondered who provides Internet connectivity in a certain city in the NIS, or which cities offer connectivity at all? This, and a great deal of other useful information, is available from IREX’s Gopher site.

The information on Internet access providers is compiled by Benoit Lips of Belgium, and updated monthly. The list includes the name of the firm, the street address, telephone and fax, and e-mail address. At the present time the list describes 79 connectivity providers in 9 countries, as follows:
