Background
In 1990, ACOnet was established as a private network infrastructure based on PTA leased lines, interconnecting the Austrian universities. Also in 1990, in August, the first TCP/IP based dedicated 64 kbps line was established between the University of Vienna and Geneva (CERN) in the context of IBMs "European Academic Supercomputer Initiative”, interconnected with NSFnet (USA) and connecting Austria to the global Internet. Independently also the preparations for the formation of the EUnet GmbH proceeded, constituting in the following years the first commercial ISP in Austria.
