Travel Intelligence--iJET
Fee-Based Information Services

Source: Newsbytes/Washington Post
Learn About: iJET
From the Newsbytes article, "You're an international traveler heading to Indonesia on business or Russia on vacation. You're about to venture into a post-Sept. 11 world where danger seems to lurk beyond every airport metal detector and customs checkpoint. You want information more current than what's in a travel guide, more comprehensive than what's on CNN, more practical than what you get from the State Department. Enter iJET, an Annapolis start-up that provides more than 350,000 corporate employees and 21,000 travel agents with access to detailed travel intelligence on 156 countries. With the help of computerized filters and knowledge of 17 languages, iJET staffers absorb files from 5,000 sources a day, monitoring conditions in 10 areas of intelligence, including security, health, transportation and environment. The information gets as particular as traffic fine procedures, handshaking customs and the dial numbers for local English-language radio stations."
