Welcome to the Capital Region Information Service (CRISNY). CRISNY is a community network centered on the counties of Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Schenectady in upstate New York. Its mission is to help the entire community achieve the benefits of new information and network technologies regardless of education, technical proficiency or income. To fulfill its mission it offers special services, including free or low-cost accounts, to local governments, schools, colleges, universities, and other not-for-profit organizations. CRISNY is supported by a combination of modest fees to individuals, market rate fees to commercial users, and revenues from other services, such as Web pages. CRISNY is one of the first community networks to offer PPP/SLIP access via a Frame Relay network architecture with T1 access to the Internet.
