With reference to our article on Broadband: An Express Highway to the Net published in the last issue of Network Computing as well as the CSC Forum on Introduction to Broadband Internet, it has become clear that broadband is gradually replacing the traditional 56Kbps modem line in terms of Internet access from home. With so many Internet Service Providers (ISP) jumping on the bandwagon to provide broadband Internet services, let us examine some of the benefits it may bring to our staff when we subscribe these services:
With the extra funding allocated to departments this year, departments are urged to consider paying the Broadband Internet Service charges in full or in part for some or all their staff so that they can tap the vast and useful information provided on the Internet for their own development at home, which in turn can benefit the University as a whole. |
