About Us |
Established in 1997, Cybertelecom is an educational not-for-profit project focusing on Federal Internet law and policy. The project is an educational resource where visitors can learn about federal laws, their implications, and how courts have interpreted them. The project seeks to provide timely notice of regulatory proceedings, hearings, meeting, and legislative proposals. The Project also provides forums where legal and policy developments can be discussed and deliberated. We seek to make information more accessible.
Cybertelecom is different. Cybertelecom seeks to present a neutral, plain english, description of legal developments with links to relevant primary sources and well as links to secondary sources, pundits, advocates, and other malcontents (er I mean bloggers). We would like you to have access to everything anywhere from anyone regarding any given law or policy - and that's why lots of our webpages look like laundry baskets with kitchen sinks in them. We are not trying to shock you with sensational and superficial the-sky-is-falling articles about how Senator Krusty is attempting to make the Internet illegal. We just want the facts, m'am. We are not trying to sell you anything. We do not have a stake in the outcome of any proceeding. We are not trying to get you to hire our attorneys. We are not shilling for a hidden cause, client, or astroturf group. We receive no money from anyone who is one of these things (okay, we don't receive any money period other than 3 cents a day from google ads). We do not present the tip-of-the-iceberg of information, attempting to get you to zap us some green in order to get the rest.
We would like to believe that, on a good day, we are simply an educational project that contributes to the democratic process as well as facilitating public knowledge of federal Internet law and policy.
Please be sure to read our disclaimer.

"Can we link to your site??"
Yes, please do. In fact, you can link to our page, "Is it legal to link?" where we discuss court cases that conclude - you don't need to ask permission to link to a site.
Support Cybertelecom:
- Patronize the advertisements on this website.
- Please links us.
- Give us feedback! Really!
Advertising
We do not currently directly accept paid advertising. Cybertelecom takes advantage of Google Ads. We understand that you can use Google Ads to advertise on this site. We will consider Public Service Announcements from 501(c)(3) non profits.
Proceeds From Cybertelecom Good Stuff
Cybertelecom earns proceeds from the Google Ads you see on the sites webpages. The primary reason we use Google Ads is as an experiment to learn more about yet another area of the Net. Google Ads on Cybertelecom generates minimal revenue. Cybertelecom serves a niche market and receives about 18,000 page views a month. In October 2007, there were 225 clicks on advertisements (you earn revenue when people click on the ads). That is a click through rate of 1.25%. This earned us $79. Woo Hoo! As Cybertelecom is a not for profit, we figured, heck, let's just donate that revenue to good stuff.
Google Ads also has the advantage of displaying to you links relevant to the subject matter of the page. It is interesting what comes up on Google Ads on different pages.
As for the Amazon Book ads, that basically doesnt earn any money at all. Again, the primary benefit is to display books relevant to the topic of the page.
Monthly Proceeds from Cybertelecom have been donated to the following:

You may also notice that Cybertelecom displays Public Service Announcements for non profits on most of its webpages (if you would like us to display your PSA, please contact us)
"Derived From"
"Derived From" is a phrase used by CT when we are using public domain works, such as works from the US Government. US Government works are not protected by copyright, are owned by citizens of the United States, and we at CT take full advantage of public domain works, particularly when they do a pretty decent job of explaining a program or law. However, while USG public domain works are frequently good places to start, they are not always good places to end. Agencies tend to portray their programs with rose colored light that everything is just marvelous - and that might not quite be right. The law may evolve. Courts may have their interpretations. Or we may just want to muck around a bit with the description provided by a USG work. When we say "derived from," it means we have copied a public domain work, and are in the process of revising and generally mucking around with that work.
