NAME THAT ORG - WIN A FREE INTERNET !
The local organization coloquially known as NTE, a/k/a "Not the EFF"
needs a real name, not necessarily to be composed using the letters E, N,
or T, in any order.
Who or what is <NTE> you say ?
"The purpose of <nte> is to help make our corner of cyberspace a civilized
place to live, work, and visit. We believe that the world of computers and
the communications links that bind their users together should be open to
everyone. Furthermore, if this new medium is to have a chance of fulfilling
its great potential, the same civil rights that protect our freedom in the
physical world must prevail in cyberspace.
Therefore <nte> will work to educate people about computer networks and how
to use them to find information and to communicate with one another. We
will also reach out to computer users, government officials, legislators
and the media to foster better understanding of cyberspace and to ensure
that laws are written and enforced to enhance individual rights rather
than to curtail them. Finally, we will do our best to bring into
cyberspace those who might not otherwise have the opportunity or awareness
to make use of it, in the belief that doing so will enrich our lives as
well as theirs."
- Paul Wallich
