A repost, LOL: Friday May 14, 9:45 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Senate Unanimously Passes Measure Paving Way for Crayon Crawler Technology Beta Version to be Expedited to Meet Demand SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 1999--The Senate unanimously passed a measure on Thursday that would require all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in excess of 50,000 users to provide free of charge or at cost, software that blocks objectionable material from children. 1st Net Technologies (OTC BB:FNTT - news) welcomed the news today as a formal recognition that the time has come for their Crayon Crawler, which protects children of all ages via inclusive technology that excludes pornographic, violent, and other unwanted content as well as spam. The Crayon Crawler's 5.2 beta version debuted last week on the heels of Vice President Al Gore's plea to the American public to begin safeguarding children on the Internet. During the speech, Gore specifically referred to the school shooting tragedy of Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. The Crayon Crawler is expected to begin usage in homes worldwide as well as school districts after the beta testing is completed. Companies such as America Online (NYSE:AOL - news), IDTC Corporation (Nasdaq:IDTC - news), Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq:MSFT - news), MindSpring Enterprises (Nasdaq:MSPG - news), At Home Corporation (Nasdaq:ATHM - news), and AT&T Corporation (NYSE:T - news) could all potentially be affected by the unanimously approved measure. 1st Net President Cliff Smith welcomed the Senate vote today, calling it a wake up call to parents and Internet Service Providers. ''This is a clear notice by the Senate that for too long children have been defenseless on the Internet and that we are responsible for making sure that this wonderful medium remains a vehicle for positive education and entertainment and not a device to prey upon or wrongly influence kids. We know that our Crayon Crawler resolves this issue and we are pleased to see that the public's awareness and need for our resolution has risen.''
