NetAlter Begins Development of 'Internet Alternative' in India TMCnet Contributing Editor Indian company NetAlter Software is reportedly developing an innovative P2P network as a secure alternative to Internet. The company, winner of the Red Herring Asia 100 award, has patented an innovative system that offers a domain-less alternative to web and Internet based solutions.
The company claims that its "NetAlter Service Browser" will offer a secure, trusted, spam-free and virus-free software and network for both end users and businesses. The company will offer this system free to end users worldwide who can connect, communicate and share with other users from their computers. The company says users will no longer have to worry about their personal and financial information being hacked or misused. The system not only shuns any unauthorized program running in the PC, but also protects the intellectual property of creators of content and applications. Furthermore, the system allows for the creation of personal and business networks using its innovative and secure P2P technology, apart from offering features for communicating via email, file sharing and messaging. NetAlter says there will no longer be the need of domain name registration or hosting a Web server for publishing content across the network. The NetAlter browser also will have an in-built integrated intelligent clustered semantic search engine that is e-commerce enabled. The platform also has something to offer to developers and service providers. Its collaborative platform allows developers to share their code or content and do business within the network. For advertisers, NetAlter offers a unique targeted advertisement model, which will be an alternative model for those frustrated with web based advertising. The Democratic Grid concept of the NetAlter enables end users in the network share the idle resources of their computer with a global Grid pool and then use the same grid to run grid enabled applications on a quid pro quo basis. Apart from its major contribution to this system, NetAlter is also looking forward to working with established developers and service providers in forming a consortium for further developing this unique technology, a company statement said. -------- P R Sai is a contributing editor for TMCnet.
