Subject: commercial solicitations over arpanet

Below is a copy of a message received from the Arpa/Milnet Network
Information Center (NIC) on the subject of advertising.  Persons
posting messages from other networks which are gatewayed to
Arpa/Milnet should also avoid posting "for sale" messages or we will
loose our permission to gateway to/from net.micro.cpm.

[From NIC@SRI-NIC.ARPA]

The policy as it now stands is that nobody should do any sort of
advertising on the net without prior approval from the Defense
Communications Agency.

There is also not to be any job soliciting done across the net.  If
such a thing is done on a person's BBoard, they sould not send any
resulting messages on to any other BBoard.

For more explicit directions on this topic you could contact Wayne
Grindle (Grindle@DDN1) at the Defense Communications Agency DDN
Program Management office, Code B627 in Washington, DC 20305.  His
phone number is (703)285-5045.

Hope this gives you a flavor of what you were asking.

Regards,
Michele at NIC
