[net.general] new commercial computer network

brent@itm.UUCP (07/01/83)

    An interesting new computer net is getting under way.  Rooted
here in Atlanta, it's called SITENET.  It's a database of industrial
real estate and projects from all over the world.  Landholders pay
$350 per quarter per 10K bytes to list their sites on the net.  After
that, anyone can call in for free and querry the database about
geographic area, tax incentives, site prep, number of new plants and
corporate HQs in the area, and development organizations.  Also available
is an index of development articles, reports, papers and studies.  The
net already has nodes in most states.
    Free access to all . . . fascinating.  Computer networks are beginning
to find their markets.
