Yes... We believe companies like Juno are setting the pace for providing
universal access to the net. Once the new NC dumb terminals w/color
monitors stop selling and are given away for subscriptions to Internet
access time ISPs may also be looking for ways to offer subsidized free
Internet access.
In the mean time, we are encouraging our eTechOJT students to utilize
Juno as an entrepreneurial vehicle by providing it to small businesses,
professionals and groups. Advanced students also offer on-site
installation in the $20.00 in the Chicago area. Juno is free so students
can also freely copy mail and providing telephone installation support
for $5.00 to cover shipping and handling. Of course the cost to buy disks
in quantity are as low as .25 so Juno can be an ideal money making give
away for students who have access to a pc to copy disks.
Anyone interested in more information on the eTechOJT Project may want to
take a look at the webpage some of eTechOJT students are constructing at:
<http://www.tripod.com/~FutureCity/futureye.htm>
It is far from complete as their objective is to develop a site based on
the <www.cdnow.com> model, but the content will provide a good overview.
