Content accessible via the REANNZ network
REANNZ's network is different from traditional telco networks. It's a research and education network, which means that all by itself, it enables access only to specific parts of the internet. To access the rest, you have to subscribe to REANNZ Internet (or sign up to another internet service provider) as well.
This is a list content our members can access via the REANNZ network without subscribing to REANNZ Internet. The list is constantly growing as REANNZ forms partnerships with different content providers. Additionally, we're always seeking to understand what content is most appropriate for our members and seeking to add that, too.
Follow this link if you need to check whether a website is available via our network. Also check out the Resources page on our Wiki.
