With the release of ArcGIS 9.3, the ArcGIS Online beta program is closing and ArcGIS Online standard and premium services will officially be available to all ArcGIS users. ArcGIS Online services are hosted by ESRI and powered by ArcGIS Server and provide users with instant access to 2D maps and 3D globes. These Web-based services are ready to use and are cartographically rendered to support multiscale display, so ArcGIS users can quickly get started with their GIS projects without having to search for and manage high-quality basemap data.
