Subject:       US shuts down Yugoslav Internet - For immediate release

Dear sirs,

We have reliable information that the US Government ordered
Loral Orion company to shut down its satellite feeds for Internet
customers in Yugoslavia.

This action might be taken as soon as later tonight or tomorrow
(May 12 or 13, 1999).

This is a flagrant violation of commercial contracts with Yugoslav
ISPs, as well as an attack on freedom of the Internet.

A Web site in protest of these actions should be up shortly. We will
supply you with the URL. In the meantime, please be so kind to
inform as many people as possible about this tragic event for the
Internet community in Yugoslavia and Europe.

Kind regards,
BeoNET
Belgrade, Yugoslavia
