THE HISTORY OF YU INTERNET Internet development in Yugoslavia has started in 1995 when the full approach to all its services was enabled. Before that we could only use some e-mail services through the Academic network, thanks to the efforts of some individuals. However, bad economic situation, lack of free market and NATO airstrikes contributed to the stagnation of Internet development. The essential business on the Yu Internet is still connected only to the Internet service providing, hosting, which is done by the firms that enable Internet connection and, during the last year, there is an increasing number of qualitative trainings, seminars, courses, and specialised Internet It is estimated that there are 8000 registered domains and 50000 presentations on the yu-web. The big difference tells that there are lot of presentations of the firms registered on the .com domain, as well as different project of individuals, alternative artists, for example, who do not want to be shown in media. The important role for the Internet development in Yugoslavia have the non-government organisations which have offered different kinds of training, support to projects that popularise the web or enable students approach it. |
THE FACTS CONCERNING YU INTERNET According to the data given in the Internet magazine, at the beginning of this year yu national domain had 6139 registered domains. It is estimated that the figure grew up to 8000 until today. Additionally, there are approximately 850 http servers. Such small number of domains and servers can be explained by the poverty that forced people to use free services or, it could be the restrictive policy of the registration of national domain and people, naturally chose .com. According to the investigations of the institution that regularly observes media in the country, PC is owned by 12% of homes, half of which have Internet connection. These are data given in November 2000. The computer models are older ones (286, 386, 486) and their main purpose is playing games or word processing. In addition the bad condition of the telecommunication company does not encourage people for more serious use of the Internet. On the other side, comparing with other countries, the situation in Yugoslavia (10.8% users of the population) is not very bad: we are far behind the countries of western Europe (about 50%), but comparing with Portugal (7.0%), for example, or Hungary (6.4%) the situation is pretty good. Not to mention Bosnia and Albania (0.1%)! And the trends mark slow but constant increase. |
