R Sreekumar
Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 7: Shristi Open Systems, the lone Kerala-based ISP in the country, is now offering the lowest internet access rates ever announced in India for dial-up connectivitiy. Shristi, which began its internet services in January this year, had temporarily stopped providing new connections from July onwards as their bandwidth had become exhausted. The service provider, having 350 customers at present, is planning to rope in another 800 customers in the second phase with the installation of additional backbone bandwidth and more number of telephone access lines. "Our rates would be the lowest for PSTN dial-up services in the country," Vijayalekshmy Parameshwar, director of Shristi Open Systems said. Shristi would provide a 100 hour account for Rs 2,200 and 200 hour account for Rs 3,900, she added. Shristi Open Systems, a 100 per cent EoU, is exporting network management solutions to a number of countries. It also owns a tier-I of the internet backbones in Europe and US. Shristi internetservices are available under the ID TechparK.net and has a call blocking factor of FIVE per cent, which means dial-up lines would be available 95 per cent of the time. Among other features include backbone ratio of 1:16 (each 64 kbps time slots), high speed local servers for e-mail, FTP, Telnet and News, redundant mirror servers in UK and USA.
