Introducing Our SWANsat
Magna Carta*
for the Information Age
*[1] The “great charter” of English liberties, forced from King John by
the English barons and sealed at Runnymede, June 15, 1215. [2] Any
fundamental constitution or law guaranteeing rights and liberties;
cf.
Dictionary.com, "Magna Carta".
Liberty is the
empowerment to do what one ought, not the license to do what one wants. On a
national level, it is the harvest yielded from the lives of individuals who
plant the seed of self-government within as the foundation of
the thoughts, intents, words, and deeds of life. On a national level, the fruit
of liberty is national prosperity in all its multi-colored forms. Its price
is eternal vigilance, because it is within the nature of those who are
enslaved to their own desires and fears to yearn to enslave others. By the providence of God, it
is the nature of free people that they cannot be enslaved to a politics of
guilt and pity, of envy, or entitlement. Accordingly, SWANsat shall extend no safe harbor to
those who would foster tyranny.
— SWANSAT
Founder Dr. William P. Welty,
on why SWANsat ICT services shall be liberty-based
On 15 February 2010, SWANsat Holdings filed a Notice of Claim of
Exemption based on provisions contained in the Republic of Germany's
regulations concerning Section 58 exemptions for operations in
never-before-assigned electromagnetic frequencies such as the W-band.
Copies of the Notice of Claim of Exemption were simultaneously
served on the ITU and other international and national regulatory
agencies.
The SWANsat
Magna Carta for the Information Age is a seminal statement and
declaration concerning human rights and the Internet. It consists of a
formal demarche†
and manifesto††,
based on five separate authorities, that the SWANsat System's planned
Networked Information Communication Technology System (NICT System) is
exempt from landing rights and operational licenses on the grounds that
access to Internet Portals and Information Freedom are both inalienable
human rights, as defined by the United Nations
Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
†I.e.,
a formal appeal or statement presented to public
officials or authorities by a private interest group; cf.
Dictionary.com, "demarche".
††I.e.
a public declaration of intentions, opinions, objectives, or motives, as
one issued by a government, sovereign, or organization.
Dictionary.com, "manifesto".
