LCA Progress Report January 2002
Alun Buffry LCA
Friday 01 Feb 2002 The Legalise Cannabis Alliance are pleased to announce that a new ISP that fully supports the LCA has been set up and we encourage supporters to make full use of the service. Both pay-as-you-go (0845) and unlimited access (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) at £14.99 services are available and all profits go to the LCA. Free web space, email addresses, and subdomains are available through your personal control panels provided. Subscribers to other ISP's who use their pay-as-you-go access are encouraged to log on and dial through lca- online.net. That way the LCA get the profit rather than another ISP, but you can still use all the services you already use and more. check it out now!
