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.
