The PHUNNET is named after a BBS hub that was created by Jehovah's Witnesses for the exchange of encouragement and ideas to promote true worship according to the original manuscripts of the Bible. The main "hub" of this BBS network was created and implemented by brothers living on the west coast of the United States in the late 1980's. The BBS system allowed hub moderators around the world to use a phone line or telnet to connect to local hubs to download and upload information from the main hub of the network. This network made the extent of the worldwide association of Jehovah's people more evident to all involved. Today, some 20 years later, the modern Internet has made it possible for a quarter of the earth's population to use it's services. With more than 7 million plus witnesses, the relatively safe use of the internet is more important than ever for Jehovah's people. This is one of the main reasons for the PHUNNET's creation, along with the need for more Bible knowledge in a troubled world.
