STI Internet
[edit]
STI Internet (STI), was a Brazilian Internet service provider based in São Paulo that provided a variety of services, including dedicated and dial up internet access, web hosting and e-mail during the Web 1.0 era in Brazil.
At the time it was acquired in May, 1999, STI was the fourth largest in Brazil. [1]
History
[edit]STI Internet was originally founded as a BBS in the early 90s by Rodrigo Martinez, Mauro Bertaglia and Mauricio Meismith.
STI stands for “Sistema de Telecomunicação Interativa” (interactive telecommunication system) and the BBS was mostly custom coded on top of a BBS software called RemoteAccess.
STI BBS was the first to offer a custom Instant Messaging feature called “Conectados”.[2]
When commercial Internet was finally available in 1995, STI BBS rebranded to STI Internet and transitioned to a pure ISP model.
STI Internet was the first to live stream audio in Brazil and also the first to offer unlimited internet access for a flat rate.[3]
During the market consolidation of global ISPs in the late 90s, STI Internet was acquired by PSINet.[1]
