10 October 1996

The first conference on
    issues of construction and operation of regional
    networks. It was attended by representatives of
    administration of the President and Cabinet of Ministers
of Bashkortostan, state and scientific
    institutions, commercial and financial structures
    republics. The main speakers at
the conference were representatives of the ICC
"Express", as well as Race Communications and Global companies
    One. Express was established in 1992
by the Government of Bashkortostan on the basis of JSC
    Bashinformsvyaz initially had
only communication lines at its disposal.



    For four and a half years of the ICC, cooperating with
    the Moscow company Race Communications, which,
    actually, I was engaged in the design of the network and
the supply of equipment, connected a single
    the information network is almost all large
    settlements of the republic. Originally BashNet
    offered data transmission channels over protocol X.25
and various Sprint services. Today to this
    The provision of Internet access and
voice transmission over the Frame Relay protocol has been added. Last
    it is possible so far only on 12 channels of the network, because
    other channels do not provide the necessary
    the quality of communication, but the plans of "Express"
include the provision of an equally high level
    services to all users of BashNet, which today
    there are more than 1000. These are the largest banks
    republics, many universities, enterprises and
ministries. Unfortunately, while BashNet is unique
    organization, because in no other region
    there is no such thing purposefully
    the ongoing project. Oh, by the way,
    despite the fact that "Express" is established
    government agencies, this company operates on
a commercial basis and has already fully paid off
    myself. Maybe this fact will become an incentive for
the development of communication infrastructure in the regions.
