Steel industry terms searchable on new website
A steel industry-specific internet search engine service comprises several hundred thousand fully searchable steel industry terms from thousands of steel industry websites.
Steel search capacity increased
Due to strong customer demand, www.steelonthenet.com is pleased to announce that is has markedly increased the capacity of its steel industry-specific search engine service.
Making use of recent advances in the availability of GPRS (an 'always-on' internet-based data service available to users of GSM phones), the new service is especially directed at executives who are 'on the road'.
Commented Andrew M Kotas, Steelonthenet.com CEO, "GPRS is typically accessible on most newer cell/mobile phones and on PDAs ('personal digital assistants') in most parts of the industrialised world".
"Our new wireless service simply marries the news aggregation skills of www.steelonthenet.com with the technological capabilities of GPRS to provide an extremely low cost and internationally seamless news service." Added Kotas, "This is the ideal information service for the steel industry executive who is on the move - perhaps travelling abroad, maybe waiting to catch a plane, perhaps stuck in a cab, or maybe about to go into a meeting and simply wishing to be better informed." Commented Kotas further: "Steelonthenet.com is an information-sharing portal.
We are therefore launching the new WAP ('wireless application protocol') service in two forms.
One form is a 'light' version - a steel industry news headlines service, which is free to all site visitors.
The other form provides fuller news coverage and offers up to ten current headlines on a WAP device, with associated news excerpts - and this version carries a small subscription charge.
Our new wireless service is therefore accessible to all - from the materials engineering student who may be on a budget, to the company managing director.".
