Did you know that we have our own NREN in this country? Yes we do and I am proud of it.
Hmmm what is it you say? According to Wikipedia NREN is a specialised internet service provider dedicated to supporting the needs of the research and education communities within a country.
Is that clear enough what NREN is? Hopefully, and to add this is funded by our government and backed up by International Organizations.
So What’s in it for you? Well If you are a government, academic, or research and development organization then this is for you to take advantage of.
Why? geeez if you don’t get it imagine your organization having a free and fast dedicated internet connection where the traffic is not congested unlike the commercial one’s where users are experiencing lags, slowness and outagse.
