ALEXANDRIA, Va. - June 16, 2008 - The National Law Center for Children and Families (NLC), a national nonprofit organization dedicated to combating child sexual exploitation, commended three Internet service providers (ISPs) for an agreement to purge their servers of child pornography newsgroups and Web sites.

In addition to restricting customer access to the illegal material, the ISPs - Verizon, Time Warner Cable and Sprint - agreed to donate more than $1 million to be used for additional anti-child pornography efforts within the attorney general's office and through nonprofit organizations.
