[I thank Dov for these details, but I'd hope that ZKS could post vital information like the "why" of the shutdown on their website instead of directing people to comments posted on Slashdot. --DBM] ********* From: Dov Smith <dovat_private> To: "'declanat_private'" <declanat_private> Subject: RE: Zero Knowledge ends anonymity services on October 22 Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2001 17:13:22 -0400 Hey Declan, Wanted to make sure you had seen both of these: Our press release from this morning announcing the release of Freedom Privacy & Security Tools 3.0: http://www.zeroknowledge.com/media/pressrel.asp?rel=10042001 Ian Goldberg's post to Slashdot: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=22261&cid=2388977 Essentially this is about moving our consumer product offerings to where the mass market of privacy- and security-conscious customers is. Based on our sales to date, as well as customer feedback, focus groups, and our consultations with channel partners such as ISPs and OEMs, there is a much greater market for the kind of tools that we're offering in Freedom 3.0 than there currently is for the anonymous browsing and encrypted email services. Hope you are well. Dov ________________________________ Dov Smith Director of Public Relations Zero-Knowledge Systems, Inc.
