015.28 Antartica
by Andy Linton <Andy.Linton@comp.vuw.ac.nz>
In February 92, NZ Telecom will have a satellite connection available to Scott
Base in the Ross Dependency offering data circuits of up to 64 Kbits/sec in the
first year of operation and 2 Mbits/sec thereafter. Preliminary enquiries in
New Zealand show that an Internet link to Scott Base would be useful to
researchers and that there are no technical reasons why the link could not be
operational in February before the end of the summer season. This link could be
made available to researchers at the American and Italian bases in the area
relatively easily. Work on funding the link will continue and we hope to
report positive progress soon.
