Libre Services are not merely an abstract concept-they are an actual, working construct. Several sets of Libre Services have been implemented, deployed, and are in operation today. To experiment with and learn more about Libre Services, you can visit and try out any of the following services:

• ByName. The ByName services are the world's first Libre Services. They are fully functioning showcase demonstration of what Libre Services can do. They provide a complete suite of Internet Application Services for the individual user, including a personal domain, personal website, e-mail, integrated support for mobility, WhiteBerry mobile messaging, and all the other usual amenities. Anyone can sign up for a free ByName account and begin enjoying their Libre Services today. To learn more and get started, visit:

• ByNumber. The ByName services complement the ByName services by providing an alternative means of access to personal services based on a number assigned to the user, rather than the user's name. ByNumber allows access to services using devices that are primarily numeric in nature, such as pagers and telephone keypads.

• ByAlias. All user-specific elements of a user's ByName account (domains, e-mail accounts, websites, etc.) are based on the user's name. ByName users are required to provide their real names for this purpose; pseudonyms and aliases are not permitted. This implies a certain standard of authenticity and integrity on the part of both the ByName service and the ByName user.

  However, there are circumstances under which a user may wish to protect his or her true identity behind an alias. The ByAlias service is available to support this requirement. It is a companion service to ByName, providing appropriate services to the user while maintaining full confidentiality.

• BySME. The ByName services are oriented primarily to the needs of the individual user. The BySME services provide similar functionality, but oriented specifically to the needs of the Small-to-Medium Enterprise (SME) sector.

• ByWhere. The ByWhere services provide a set of services that are oriented to physical locations rather than individual or business entities. Such services are useful to individual users, who can use ByWhere services for their personal residence, or to corporate users, who can the services for their business address.
