C I Host's Faulkner Discusses Federal Lawsuits Against Spam

What: Texas' first lawsuit against a spam operation was filed by the
state's attorney general Thursday. The complaint was filed under
the CanSpam Act of 2003 to crack down on the massive flow of
illegal e-mails. The suit names a University of Texas student and
a California man, who manage three companies registered in Nevada
-- one ranked as the fourth largest illegal spam operation in the
world.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was awarded an order Tuesday to
shut down six illegal Internet firms for profiting from sexually
explicit e-mails.

Who: Industry expert Christopher Faulkner is prepared to discuss the
recent government actions against spam, the tag-team effort
between spammers and virus writers, how users can protect
themselves and more.

Faulkner is CEO and founder of C I Host, the largest privately
held Web hosting firm, serving 215,000 clients in 190 countries.

Where: C I Host is centrally located and accessible to both coasts via
the DFW Airport, just a few miles away. Faulkner is available for
in-studio interviews given advance notice.

When: January 18, 2005
C I Host is on Central time, but Faulkner is prepared to work
around the schedules of media producers, assignments editors and
writers.
