“BPS Internet Access is the first of many alliances to raise
funds for Linux community and good works projects.“
“GeekCast.Com Networks announces the official opening of BPS
Internet Access to be January 1st 2000. BPS Internet Access is a
cooperative effort of GeekCast and Internet Service Providers
accross the US to create a fundraiser for The Benevolent Penguin
Society, a Linux community benevolence organization. In the words
of Geekcast CEO Jeff Gerhardt “you have to get Internet service
from somewhere, you might as well get that service from someone
that is going to help the Linux Community achieve their goals.”
“The Benchmark price of $17.00/mo for unlimited single channel
analog or ISDN and $29.00/mo for unlimited dual channel analog or
ISDN service is very competitive. $2.50 per month for single
channel and $3.50 a month for dual channel servicee will be
directly contributed to The Benevolent Penguin Society. The
Benevolent Penguin Society, was created for the purpose of raising
funding for good works for or on behalf of the greater Linux
community. Two low income urban schools are already connnected to
the internet because of BPS. For information on The Benevolent
Penguin Society, check out the information at the GeekCast
site.”
