    The Soviet Union once aimed their missiles at U.S. nuclear silos.

    High-speed dedicated Internet access has been available to companies
    for years. But it's been pretty expensive, until recently costing
    $1,000 to $1,500 a month plus hardware and start-up charges.

    They're fast, they're often anonymous and they don't stop at
    borders.
    The same qualities that make the Internet, smart cards and other new
    technologies popular with consumers also make them alluring to
    criminals eager to quickly and quietly turn ill-gotten gains into
    cash that looks clean.

    [September 22, 1998] A survey conducted by World Research, Inc.
    found that for the most part, consumers are happy with their Internet
    service providers (ISPs).

    A Los Angeles judge has dismissed a copyright lawsuit that
    threatened to hold websites legally responsible for links to content
    posted elsewhere on the Web.

    Malaysia's ambitious plan to create a futuristic "Cybercity" is a
    year ahead of schedule and its builders are confident they can still
