Multicom-4 Funding
==================

We commonly hear statements like this...

"Over 100 lines, full internet access, free time to all validated accounts?
 There MUST be a hidden cost, running a system this large has to cost lots
 of money!"

Multicom-4 is incorporated as a non-profit community utility that is free
to everyone in the community, and will neither charge nor pay for any
information or other services it provides.

The costs associated with building and maintaining this community service
are relatively modest.  It is confidently expected that these costs will be
covered through public and private grants and donations, and the other fund
raising methods that have been successful in other communities.

Multicom-4 is a free, computer-based information sharing network.  It links
the people and organizations of the gay, lesbian and bisexual community,
provides useful information, and enables an open exchange of ideas with the
world.  Community involvement makes Multicom-4 an important and accessible
meeting place, and prepares people for full participation in a rapidly
changing communications environment.
