Internet

The introduction of Internet in Croatia officially started in 1991. This was the beginning of operation of the Croatian Academic and Research Network (CARNet), the first Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Croatia.

CARNet was established in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Croatia in 1995 thus creating the preconditions for further activities under the project of the Ministry of Education and Technology. Over the next few years CARNet was the only Internet service provider in Croatia. In October 1992 the first international connection between CARNet’s computers in Zagreb and Austrian computers was established connecting Croatia to the global network - Internet.

 

Broadband Internet access is used increasingly, replacing narrowband (dial-up) Internet access, due to higher data transmission rates and service packages with unlimited Internet traffic.

With the aim to develop broadband Internet, in September 2006, the Government of the Republic of Croatia adopted the Broadband Development Strategy in the Republic of Croatia by the year 2008. The main goal of the Strategy is to increase the number of broadband Internet users in the Republic of Croatia, as the basic condition for creating information society and economy.
