The website kópalalíonn.kr ("turtle-net") serves as a directory of "dial-up friendly" websites with basic HTML to enable faster loading, including email, news, social networking, and other online services tailored to the needs of dialup users.

Regulatory Environment
Primary responsibility for regulating the internet in Kiravia lies with the federal government, as per the Intercourse Clause of the Fundamental Statute of the Kiravian Federacy, which establishes federal authority to regulate "commerce and communications across and between federal subjects". Because most internet traffic in the Federacy crosses multiple federal subjects, the federal government's ability to assert jurisdiction in matters related to the Internet is wide-reaching, though not unlimited (see Union v. Metrea). However, individual federal subjects also have powers to regulate Internet use within their borders including such matters as the provision of internet service and infrastructure, and the taxation of online purchases.
Regulation of the internet falls within the purview of the Executive for Signals, Wiring, and Digital Development.
