I hope it is still of some use to you. The following message is what we send to those asking about access to NevadaNet from within the state of Nevada. Thank you for your inquiry about the NevadaNet. NevadaNet, an initiative of the University and Community College System of Nevada and the National Science Foundation, connects the university system institutions and campuses throughout the state and provides internet access via a T1 line between Las Vegas and San Diego. NevadaNet is currently used primarily by the higher education and research community of Nevada with some minimal usage by K-12 teachers and state librarians. While a fee structure has been established for non-university system participants, there is no such participation or marketing effort at this time. Annual Usage Fee: Institutional/Nonprofit/Govmnt $7,500 (64kp) $15,000 (T1) Industrial Research $10,000 (64kb) $20,000 (T1) Computing Services Provider $15,000 (64kb) $30,000 (T1) Additional costs include telecommunications services between NevadaNet and the memeber and the acquisition and installation of NevadaNet owned gateways and interface equipment.
