This paper describes a distance learning environment
using the Internet via satellite in Asian regions
where Internet infrastructure is insufficient. The
merit of distance learning is that students can receive
cutting edge lectures from professors all over the
world. For those areas with sufficient Internet infrastructure,
there would be no problem receiving these kinds of
lectures. However, it is difficult for countries with
insufficient Internet infrastructure to receive them.
The SOI (School of Internet) ASIA project proposes
and demonstrates a distance learning environment utilizing
satellite links as an Internet infrastructure that
can be quickly installed with low cost for those areas.
