Freenet AG is now a pretty big mobile phone provider since it bought the biggest carrier-independent mobile phone contract provider.

Revenue about 2.5 billion Euro.

I found that forced namegrab by the original autor quite rude in the beginning, but now I made peace with that and like the name hyphanet even more. That whole drama backfired for him: First, there will be always this discussion. Second, the term Freenet is quite unusable in search engines, whereas hyphanet is nice and unique to find in search engines.

Yes, Hyphanet is considerably safer and does not compete with a multi-billion Euro corporation about brand rights.
