Hi! ______
-----.|
I am doing a brief (but international!) ||
** research of Internet access prices ** ||
for home modem users in different countries. ||
||
For example, here in Slovenia (for more info on Slovenia connect to ||
http://www.ijs.si/slo.html) where I come from, the Internet access ||
is rather expensive feature -- at least I think so. The average ||
price of PPP or SLIP access is around 30 USD (or 4000 SIT-Slovenian ||
Tolar is the local currency.) for 10 hours per month. Every ||
additional hour costs 5 USD. ||
||
Please fill-in the following research form in order to help me with ||
the research. If you will be interested in the results, I will post ||
them to this newsgroup. ||
||
Send me the form back through ||
the e-mail to Miha.Amon@guest.arnes.si ||
