EFF AWARDED DVORAK/ZOOM AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS
AT ONE BBSCON IN DENVER
On August 13, the Electronic Frontier Foundation was the recipient
of one of twelve Dvorak/Zoom Telecommunications Awards. The
Dvorak/Zoom awards are to be given annually in order to recognize
individuals and organizations that have made a difference to
telecommunications and the BBS conferencing industry.
The awards were given for the first time at a presentation ceremony
during One BBSCON in Denver. The EFF was cited for "helping to keep
telecommunications safe from the potential perils of out-of-control
legal departments and over zealous law enforcement agencies." The
award also noted that the EFF has become "an extremely important
advocacy group for online telecommunications users."
Also honored in the awards ceremony were:
The WELL
Channel 1 BBS
Tom Jennings of Fidonet
Chuck Forsberg for Zmodem
John Friel III for Qmodem
Phil Katz for PKZip
Ward Christensen for Xmodem
Ward Christensen and Randy Seuss for BBS 1
Tom Smith for Procomm for Windows
Marshall Dudley for Doorway
The Rockwell Design Team for First Single Package

A more detailed report on the activities of ONE BBSCON will be the
subject of a forthcoming edition of EFFector Online.
