I am the President of Commuity ConneXion, Inc., an Internet Service Provider based in Berkeley, California. Community ConneXion was founded in 1994 to assist online users in preserving their privacy on the Internet. Incorporated in Califonia in 1996, Community ConneXion currently has 500 subscribers around the world.
Most subscribers dial a local access number to connect to the service.
Community ConneXion also offers a wide range of services designed specifically to protect the privacy of online users. We offer pseudonymous and anonymous general accounts to subscribers. We also maintain anonymous remailer services that can be used free of charge by any user on the Internet to send e-mail messages anonymously. These services are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs. Although we do not monitor or keep records regarding the kinds of communication for which our privacy services are used, we believe that our services are used for a variety of reasons, including protection from persecution for controversial lifestyles, protection from privacy-invasive employers, protection from oppressive governments in other countries, and protection from marketing databases.
