Program/Project
Description
"Cyber Patrol": We provide all of our Internet customers with free access to Cyber Patrol software, which can be downloaded from our user page. Free software updates can also be downloaded.

"GetNetWise": Bell Atlantic is one of the founding members of the GetNetWise coalition. This innovative effort by leading companies involved with the Internet has been hailed as a major accomplishment in helping to ensure that individuals have easy and user-friendly access to the array of user empowerment information and products available on the Internet. The coalition has gathered many of these resources together on a single page. Over 95 percent of individuals accessing the Internet will be only "one click away" from the GetNetWise resource. The Bell Atlantic home page links to GetNetWise.

Law Enforcement: Bell Atlantic is a member of the Department of Justice task force on child pornography on the Internet.
