CD connection to Cytanet

QUEUING at Cyta is now a thing of the past for would-be Cytanet subscribers. A new service, unveiled yesterday, makes getting connected to the world wide web as easy as buying a CD-ROM.

The disc will give the purchaser access to the Internet without needing to apply to Cyta as before.

The £10 Cytanet connection fee is paid by purchasing the disc, itself costing £10.

The CD-ROMs are available from supermarkets, stationery shops, computer outlets and kiosks.

The new discs come with a toll-free telephone service giving technical support, information and taking complaints.

Operators will answer calls on 0800-8080 on weekdays from 8 am to 9 pm and on Saturdays from 10 am to 5 am.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
