Internet portal Explanation: I have reached the same conclusion as Jarry, for talking about zuilen, we are talking about pillars and that leads to the idea of a portal - |

public internet terminal Explanation: Hallo Willemina, Ik denk niet dat hier een portal wordt bedoeld. Ik denk eerder aan een op een zuil geplaatst beeldscherm, meestal een touchscreen, dat toegang tot het internet biedt. Ze worden bijvoorbeeld gebruikt op beurzen, in bibliotheken en op stations. Op onderstaande pagina's zie je twee voorbeelden van een internetzuil. Bij landmark: http://www.landmark.nl/zuilen/index.html noemen ze het in het Engels "poles" maar ik krijg verder geen relevante hits met "internet pole". Ook nog even "internet post" geprobeerd maar helaas, ook niks. Als je niks beters kunt vinden is "public internet terminal" misschien een mogelijkheid.

Pay Internet Terminal Explanation: In Nijmegen, wear I used to live until 1999 they were experimenting with Public Telephone like terminals that you would find on pillars on street corners, shopping centers and railway stations were you could browse the internet after paying a connection fee. They would have a small LCD screen. I never used them and therefore do not recall how you would navigate them (keypad, gameboy like buttons). They were not a big success and I haven't been in the Netherlands since 1999 so I don't know whether they still exist. It is however not an Internet Portal. That's called with an angliscisme a Internet-portaal. I suggest Pay Internet Terminal. I am sure that you can find better English with this explanation. |
