Rapid Growth in Internet Use Despite Cost Constraints

The Internet, which has had the most significant impact on Humanity within the shortest possible time turned 32 years yesterday and the 20th of this same month, is the third International Internet Day. The genesis of the internet in Ghana was in the early nineties (1989/90) with the initiation of a pilot project by the Pan African Development Information system (PADIS) and the International Development Centre (IDRC) Fidonet network to connect the Ghana National Scientific and Technological Information Network (GHASTINET), the Association of African Universities (AAU) and the Technology Transfer Centre (TCC), to GreenNet in London by dial-up. The service was limited to E-mail, which was sent 3 times a week at 2400bps.
