[news.newusers.questions] Using Internet for Overseas Data Transfer

datta@vacs.uwp.wisc.edu (David Datta) (11/20/89)

My boss is interested in sending daily messages (.5 Meg) to various
companies overseas (About 20 in England, Germany, France and The
Netherlands), he is interested in buying time on existing direct
lines but is also interested in setting up a private line and selling
time. We have the following questions:

Where do I post to find out what facilities there are in existance for
using Internet over the big pond?

And where should I ask the following questions:

     How do I find out if it is feasible to use Internet instead of
     setting up a private network between the companies? (Has someone
     else done this lately?)

     What effects [if any] will using Internet have on the speed of the
     transfer and what effects [if any] will it have on other Internet
     users?
