PRAGUE 7 March (PROTEXT) - INTERNET OnLine, an internet division of ČESKÝ TELECOM, a.s., welcomed last week the 200,000th customer of the QUICK.cz service - access to the Internet free of charge. INTERNET OnLine began to offer free access to the Internet network on 1 October 2000 through the single nationwide number 0971103333. The constantly increasing growth in access to the Internet is also demonstrated by the results of research carried out by the agency AISA*, which confirmed that approximately 1/3 of the population in the Czech Republic between 9-60 years old have already tried out the possibility of connecting to the Internet, either at home, at work or elsewhere. This confirms the fact that the Internet is today an important part of life for the population of the Czech Republic and that its use, mainly in the areas of news, education and entertainment, is going to continue to increase. This trend has also been apparent in the growth of connection to the Internet directly from home. In comparison with 1999, the number of home connected to the Internet has doubled. * INTERNET OnLine, an internet division of Český Telecom, a.s., through the agency AISA, carried out during November - December 2000 quantitative research aimed towards gaining information about the level of awareness of the general public concerning free access to the Internet and Internet portals. INTERNET OnLine in this way commenced the mapping out of the Czech Internet market and intends to use these results for its future development.

The committee is creating and recommending standards of the publishers’ conduct, provides a clear interpretation of legislative restrictions and defines the best practices. These recommendations should help users avoid a risk of sanctions. In the past, the committee dealt primarily with the rules of using content on the Internet, later the self-regulation was also extended to apply to personal data protection, among others.

Jan Vavrusak has replaced CTK Strategy and Development Director Jaroslav Kabele, who was elected to the SPIR Executive Board, at the SPIR committee’s head. CTK has had its representative in the SPIR committee since its establishment.
