The Internet. ( Part II)
In many developing countries the Internet may provide businessmen with a reliable alternative to the expensive and unreliable telecommunication systems of many countries. Commercial users can communicate over the Internet with the rest of the world and can do it very cheaply. When they send e-mail messages they only have to pay for phone calls to their local service provides, not for calls around their countries or around the world. But who actually pays for sending e-mail messages over the Internet long distances, around the world? The answer is very simple: a user pays his/her service provider a monthly or hourly fee. Part of this fee goes towards its cost to connect to a larger service provider. And part of the fee got by the larger providers goes to cover its cost if running a worldwide network of wires and wireless stations.
But saving money is only the first step. If people see that they can make money from the Internet, commercial use of this network will drastically increase. For example, some western architecture companies and garment certain already transmit their basic designs and concepts over the Internet into China, where they are reworked and refined by skilled … but inexpensive – Chinese computer – aided-design specialists.
However, some problems remain. The most important is security. When you send an e-mail message to somebody, this massage can travel through many different networks and computers. The data are constantly being directed towards its destination by special computers called routers. Because of this, it is possible to get into any of computers along the route, intercept and even change the data being sent over the Internet. In spite of the fact that there are many strong encoding programs available, nearly all the information being sent over the Internet is transmitted without any form of encoding, i.e. ‘in the clear’. But when it becomes necessary to send important information over the network, these encoding programs may be useful. Some American banks and companies even conduct transactions over the Internet. However, there are still both commercial and technical problems which will take time to be resolved.
