At approximately 20:00 JST (11:00 GMT) on 17 September 1993, this new era of global connectivity was ushered in with the turnup of the first transpacific commercial Internet link. InterCon International KK (IIKK) and AT&T Jens Corporation are strategic partners in developing commercial Internet service in Japan and the Pacific Rim. We are pleased to announce our respective new services which offer IP connectivity to any organization in Japan without regard to research or educational affiliation, and without burdensome Appropriate Use Policies (AUPs). We at Jens and IIKK extend our appreciation to our US partners: AT&T (US), Performance Systems International, and InterCon Systems Corporation for their help in making commercial TCP/IP service a reality in Japan. For more information on commercial Internet connectivity in Japan, send an inquiry via electronic mail to iikk () nic inter net or attjens () nic inter net.
