*** Key GRIC Information ***
As of September 30, 1999, the GRIC Alliance included the communications networks of over 300 GRIC Alliance members and over 4,000 Internet access points located in over 140 countries. By joining the GRIC Alliance, members allow their end users to access a global network consisting of the local, regional and international networks of the GRIC Alliance members. Through our strategic relationships with Internet telephony equipment vendors, such as Lucent Technologies and Cisco Systems, we help ensure that members can readily adopt and deploy new technology across the networks in the GRIC Alliance. Current members of the GRIC Alliance include Chunghwa Telecom, Fujitsu Nifty, Globus, MindSpring, Primus Telecommunications, Singapore Telecommunications and Telstra's On Australia subsidiary, as well as America Online, which recently began offering our Internet roaming service to its subscribers. |
