	BITNET - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BITNET came to mean "Because It's Time Network", although the original meaning was "Because It's There Network".
		Bitnet's network protocols were used for a huge IBM internal network, which was larger than other networks such as ARPAnet for quite a while.
		At its zenith around 1991, BITNET extended to almost 500 organizations and 3,000 nodes, all educational institutions.

	BITNET History - Ira Fuchs, Greydon Freeman, Mailing Lists, Usenet
		BITNET was an early world leader in network communications for the research and education communities, and helped lay the groundwork for the subsequent introduction of the Internet, especially outside the US.
		BITNET was a "store-and-forward" network similar to the Usenet, and coincidentally developed at about the same time, in 1981, by Ira Fuchs and Greydon Freeman at the City University of New York (CUNY), and originally named for the phrase "Because It's There Net", later updated to "Because It's Time Net".
		By the year 2000, the remaining BITNET heritage mailing lists in regular use were a blues music discussion group at bit.listserv.blues-l and the new-list mailing list at bit.listserv.new-list.

	Bitnet Relay Chat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bitnet Relay Chat or Relay was a precursor to today's Internet Relay Chat and various instant messaging programs.
		As a strategy to deal with long lag times, users would talk to many people at once in a round-robin fashion as replies were returned.
		Some that did are Kansas State University, Gallaudet University, the University of Regina, the University of Tennessee, and (allegedly) Pennsylvania State University.

		BITNET, the "Because It's Time" network, began in the US as these two universities began using a leased telephone circuit for communications between accounts on their mainframe computers.
		BITNET's development in the US was facilitated by an IBM grant in July 1984 which provided initial funding for the establishment of centralized network support services.
		As BITNET participants migrate onto the Internet, CREN and many of the other organizations supporting BITNET throughout the world are turning their focus to supporting their members' use of the Internet and assisting in their members' migration.

	NetHistory
		BITNET is a "store-and-forward" network based on IBM's NJE communications protocol; information originating at a given BITNET- connected computer (node) is received by intermediate nodes and forwarded to its destination.
		BITNET is operated by the Corporation for Research and Educational Networking, a non-profit membership corporation.
		The cost of CREN membership and BITNET services is based on the budget of the Member institution; it is independent of the number of computers connected to BITNET and the amount of network use by the Member's staff and students.

	FAQ: International E-mail accessibility
		BITNET and.US sites There are are few BITNET nodes left in the US, but none have a name in the format `.US', hence the US domain is only FI and *.

		BITNET proved the value of networking to higher education and motivated that community to take a leadership role in establishing NSFnet and the Internet.
		Members are nevertheless urged to continue their NJE connectivity and to pass NJE traffic at least until the end of June, in order to facilitate the orderly migration of other institutions from NJE to the Internet.
		The BITNIC, and any organizations receiving their BITNET connectivity through a node scheduled for removal from BITNET, should be given as much warning as possible (preferably several months) of the pending termination of any node through which other organizations are connected to BITNET-NJE.

	BITNET - eLearning
		The first step was the development of a model for the use and dissemination of eLearning concepts and tools within the BITNET network.
		In an early stage of the project the vision was already stated that "BITNET will be used as a generic platform for identification, evaluation and testing of ICT tools that can support local requirements".
		This particular purpose in mind a model for a BITNET eLearning platform was developed with its target groups and its functionality.
