Information providers are organizations that use the SFN as a communication tool with the general public or their membership. Information providers and other volunteers are the lifeblood of a Free-Net. There are no costs to the participating organization for the setup or maintenance of the network, however you will need access to a computer and modem in order to place your information on the Free-Net. The SFN will provide training and assistance. Any organization interested in providing information to the general public as a community service can become an information provider.
Some information changes frequently such as an announcement of a meeting or event.
Information about your organization, on the other hand, would not need changing after it is entered. As you can see from the list below, there are many different kinds of information which are worthwhile posting. It is possible too that your organization can have both an information area and an area where Free-Net readers can send questions to you and have someone send them a reply. These can be either private replies, or publicly posted. Others will be coming in the future.
