COOPNet Memo (5/12/94)
----------------------

Dear potential member,

At the last week meeting we discussed the orientation 
that COOPNet should take. What came out of our discussion
is basically that we should establish COOPNet with a slow link
and increase gradually the bandwidth with the demand.

For the moment COOPNet will only be a "Server Park" where
the COOPNet  member connects his/her server(s) for a monthly
fee.

To start this whole thing we need 5 founders ready to invest 
about 3500$ as follow:

Membership		100$
Capital			1200$
[ initial capital needed for router, connection, office, server, etc.]
Server 			1900$ 
[ 486DX66, 500Mb Drive, 4 Mb Memory, EtherNet Card ]
Connection		275$/month

The capital raised (5 x 1200$) and generous interest will be 
paid back to the founders at the end of the fiscal year.

COOPNet guarantee at anytime a fast internet connection for 
275$/month or less . Because this price scheme has a tendency
to generate profit, COOPNet will use this money to increase its
bandwidth and pay dividends to its members.

For those of you who don't want to setup a server, disk space will
be available for WEB publishing , Anonymous FTP or else on the
COOPNet server at 2$/Mb/month + membership.

Once COOPNet is setup "Server Parking" will be available for
275$/month + membership.

Resell of Dial-up service will be evaluated later.

Our goal is to have the 5 founders "on-line" by the end of this
year (x-mas). We already have 2 founders confirmed so we are
looking for (at least) three serious people interested and ready
to do it now!

We will announce the next meeting as soon as we have five
confirmed founders.

Please notify us ASAP if you have serious  intentions to join the
board of  founders (3500$).

Thank you for your time and consideration.
