Eugene Free Community Network EF(C)N was a test case of the IRS attempt to classify some services of community networks as competitive with commercial services.

Why did you join CPSR?

I have been a member for about 14 years, but it seems to me that, given the current state of our nation (and the world), CPSR is needed more than ever to help protect and strengthen democracy and human rights.
