Purpose:  A quick introduction to WWB project.

          In a world without fences, echomail must flow for free

  So, our ambitious goal is to build a IP-based, free of charge, world wide
  backbone (hence the name, WWB :)) to distribute international echomail as
  fast as possible and for free. An international backbone not bound to a
  single Zone, but for the benefit of the entire network as a whole.

  If you are just looking for an international echo feed, carrying the
  whole current backbone and more, feel free to contact us, and
  specifically who among us is in your same Zone (see below for names and
  addresses).

  We neither ask for money nor implement cost-sharing schemes.

                        This is not an advertisement

  We are not looking for customers, but for fellow sysops willing to
  co-operate to this project.

               Join us and let's build a World Wide Backbone

  If you run a IP system and feel disposed to feed your own Region or Net,
  please contact us. We need you! :)

  All ZECs (ZC if ZEC position is vacant) and RECs (RC if REC position is
  vacant) are invited to partecipate in WWB_COORD echo, while WWB_SYSOP
  echo is open to the contribute of every nodelisted sysop.

  Both echos are available as protected internet mailing lists if, for the
  moment, you are unwilling to afford a direct link. See WWB-ML.TXT for
  subscription instructions.
