Faced with a tight schedule to meet Get2Net’s contractual obligations, Ephibian created an end-to-end system linked to a responsive, nation-wide network monitored 24x7 to maintain maximum uptime.

The kiosks had to interface with sophisticated back-end services including general internet navigation, web-based email, featured links, location-specific graphics, ad serving, and filtering to eliminate pornography and other objectionable material.

A key to the system’s success is its flexibility. Iterations of the software were developed quickly and affordably to allow Get2Net to test different business models, and change them if necessary, without missing a beat. Originally, Get2Net’s plan was a pay-per-minute usage model; then switched its basis solely on advertising revenue. Ephibian responded quickly by pulling out the billing module and rolling out software that enabled Get2Net to sell advertising space and sponsorships on the site.

At the time of its acquisition, Get2Net had more that 600,000 page views a day and 200,000+ registered users.
