Randy, Larry:

Please find enclosed some latest statistics related to the number of registered and active users in different countries associated with the CUNet project. CUNet is a sub-project of the Hemisphere Wide Inter-University Scientific and Information Network (RedHUCyT), which has been actively assisting the OAS member States to connect to Internet.

I have asked Archie Marshall, to double check the numbers for the remaining countries or institutions not listed here.

The numbers were provided by the CUNet country coordinators and any specific inquiries should be addressed to them directly and to Archie Marshall.

Please observe that Jamaica has full IP connectivity as has been described previously.

Belize connects through RAINNET in Oregon (Randys' network). Saint Vincent and Saint Lucia connect through Canada (COL). The other countries use the University of Puerto Rico as a hub.

Adding the numbers provided by the Coordinators, the total count shows over twenty six hundred, 2600, registered users and over 2300 "active" users.

NOTE
Full IP connectivity is now commercially available from the PTT's in Antigua and Barbuda, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, Barbados, Bermuda, Saint Lucia, Dominican Republic (actually by three competing companies). The service is most commonly PPP dial up or SLIP.

Currently, whenever possible, we are committed to assist academic institutions for full IP connectivity, as in Jamaica and soon Trinidad and other countries.

I hope you find this information useful.

--Saul
