Internet Access and Training Program (IATP)
Internet Centers
Currently, IATP is a network of 42 IATP-administered and more than 60 independently-administered internet centers (IICs) in 8 countries throughout the former Soviet Union. Members of the public are able to access the computers at IATP centers whenever training courses are not being conducted. Approximately five hours per day are available for open Internet access. Time is reserved on a computer-by-computer basis in increments of one hour by either calling ahead or visiting an IATP site.
IATP centers are constantly busy and frequently maintain waiting lines for Internet access. This is because access to the Internet in the countries of the former Soviet Union is still rare. Few individuals have access at work even in capital cities. Access from home is out of the price range of most people and therefore even less common. Universities generally offer limited Internet access, but these facilities are frequently overwhelmed and available only to students. Internet cafes have sprung up in many capital cities but charge prices that are out of the reach of the average person. Access through IATP is almost always the only way for individuals to get online free-of-charge.
