BITNET  

Définition

  • BITNET, an acronym that stands for “Because It's Time Network,” is a network of universities, colleges, and other academic institutions that was a predecessor to today's Internet—as was ARPANET, a defense and research network. Although crude by today's standards, the purpose of BITNET was to support research and education with a tool for sending email, exchanging files, and generally sharing text-based information between institutions.
