Guernsey Plans Free Internet Access
Responding
to developments in the UK, Guernsey Telecom Board plans to
provide free Internet access through a new site, GT On-Line, which
will absorb Telecoms' existing ISP, Cinergy. The new system will
also have its own portal to provide local information. Subscribers
may utilise a number of servers. Call charges will remain competitive
at 2p per minute during peak hours and 1p at all other times.
In the
wake of insecurity over Hotmail accounts, Telecom said that
the most recent security systems would be used. Telecoms chief
executive, David Coleman, believes that the island is on the verge
of developing a major growth industry in Internet services which
should benefit the whole community. Existing
Cinergy subscribers will be offered the opportunity to have
the free access service over the coming weeks. .
