Who is Internet Nebraska?
Internet Nebraska began operations in mid-1994. At that time, the
National Science Foundation was beginning the process of turning over
responsibilities for the Internet to non-governmental organizations.
Internet Nebraska was founded to ensure local, high-quality, affordable
Internet access and services. We have provided reliable access and
personal service ever since.
We are proud of our computer expertise and Internet experience. Our
experience with the computers goes back many years and spans many
different systems. We were using inter-networked computers before
there was an Internet. Internetworking is our only business and we
are technically expert, but we take special pride in how we deal
with people and their problems, not just with computer networks.
