Data Control & Systems
Data Control and Systems was a company formed by Rob Nursten in Zimbabwe in 1994 and became commercially operational in 1995. The company was originally a subsidiary of UUNet Internet Africa which he started in South Africa with the demand for internet services.
== History of Internet service in Zimbabwe ==
Zimbabwe may have been one of the later additions to the digital world, but this was by no means anything short of a technical advancement that has since changed the country. Delving into the history of data Control is to look back to the very founding of the first global ISPs. For this reason alone it is an important chapter of global history that needs to be documented. Data Control won an award from "Best Of The Planet Awards 1996 IN THE CATEGORY OF WWW INTERNET PROVIDERS" 2ask.com. This was a major achievement for an African company, never mind a Zimbabwean company. Data Control & Systems was the first internet service provider in Zimbabwe. They provided a technological first in Southern Africa, being the Sister company of UUnet Internet Africa born in South Africa. The main directors of the company were Clint Nursten and his father, Rob Nursten. The Network Administration was handled by Clint Sim and Scott Nursten who was also responsible for the security systems at both the host and network levels. Scott also provided web design and various programming applications for the commercial side of the company. He then went on to start (s2s Ltd ), a major provider of security and networking consultancy in the United Kingdom with his brother Dale Nursten.〔
The company set out to provide Internet access to the whole of southern Africa from 1994 onwards. Its domain name was harare.iafrica.com. which used leased line access from South Africa through the Zimbabwean Posts & Telecomunications Company aka P.T.C. Eventually Data Control & Systems changed name to Internet Unlimited and was then bought out by Econet Wireless and named Ecoweb Internet. During the period of the company being named Internet Unlimited, the domain name was internet.co.zw and has remained as that domain up until 2002.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Way Back Machine )〕 As of 2005, the company provided internet access to over 50,000 Zimbabweans and many international tourists through lower level internet cafes and client computers.
