Many
of Nagano's smaller companies have not yet been struck by the Internet
bug, but the number that have is growing by day to day. The following
is a list of more notable companies with English content; the list
of sites is of course growing day-to-day and one would be well advised
to check the pages of local ISPs and other sites listed below for
the latest offerings. |
|
|
NTT
(Tokyo) is of course the mother of the Japanese Internet, but
recently the use of the Internet has mushroomed beyond the control
of any single organization. |
|
|
Nagano
is known for its industrial ingenuity particularly that of precision
machinery. One of the prefecture's better known companies is Seiko
Epson. |
|
|
One
of the few independent software developers in Nagano, Zoo
Corporation has a web site which shows off its staff's talents
in multimedia. One of the more active staff pages is that of Dan
Burgess. Zoo is also the operator of Internet
Shinshu, one of the local Internet Providers. |
Internet Providers |

by the local subsidiary of Fujitsu,
InfoValley
has a sprinkling of interesting individual
home pages, but lacks
English content. |

The
Small
Business Information Center of Nagano Prefecture caused quite
an uproar when they opened their own Internet service provider funded
by public money; they have since promised to shut down their service
within 2 years. Many small
companies in the Prefecture have signed up for their economical
dial-up and home page posting service. The site is also host to information
about Nagano Prefecture's Research
Institutes. |
