freenet [′frē‚net]
(computer science)
A bulletin board system, based in a public library or other community or government organization, that provides access to useful resources.
Freenet - Community-based bulletin board system with e-mail, information services, interactive communications, and conferencing. Freenets are funded and operated by individuals and volunteers - in one sense, like public television. They are part of the National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN), an organisation based in Cleveland, Ohio, devoted to making computer telecommunication and networking services as freely available as public libraries.
