so far the ouly authorized reseller of Yel-

Giannelia expects a slow start to the
_web_ page sales, but anticipates it will
grow and become vital to business.

Surfing the web, he agrees, can be-
come a major. time-waster for employ-
ecs. Accordingly, he advises employers
not to install web- ‘browsing software in
the workplace.

But he does encourage businesses to 7
get a web site and an email address to i
collect the responses to it,” _

Giannclia says he stumbled into the
busiaess almost by accident. °

He said he realized this spring he’ will
increasingly need Internet access for his
computer job training business...

Rather than just buy access from an-
other provider, he decided to become a
provider himself. -

He designed Alcan’s site that later
evolved into sno.net in Kitimat.

And he’s got several large customers in
the works.
