GreenNet celebrates 40 years: A pioneering internet service provider still building digital communications for everyone, everywhere

Between 1982 and 1987, several independent, national, non-profit computer networks emerged as viable information and communication resources for activists and organisations – most founded by a small number of people devoting their personal equipment and free time to these endeavours. One of them was GreenNet, founded in December 1985 to provide professional computer capability to organisations working for a better world.
