Swap a ticket, surf the Net

AND now, it is time to gift-wrap Internet and say a meaningful hello to the cybergeneration.

As browsing from swank public access centres gains popularity, DishnetDSL, an Internet Service Provider, running a country-wide network of ``hub centres'' has come out with ``web-tickets'' which one can buy off the shelf and gift. Each ticket can be exchanged for an hour of high- speed internet use at any of the Dishnet hub centres in the city.

Called ``Time2Surf'' each packet, has 10 tickets, which are not just so many passes to browse. For,it also contains a web guide. The guide has an overview of the Internet and WWW and short notes on browsing, searching, e-mail, chat and all utilities of the Net. It also has a directory of various categories and URLs with appropriate screenshots - a useful booklet for the beginners.

The advantage of the DishnetDSL hub centres, says the company, is that the access is fast because of the high bandwidth used.
