Cableone did the same a couple of months ago and went up on the price at
the same time, and they still wonder why people are running away from
cable any time they can. I made the call then to absolutely no avail.

Verizon is following suit ... and is [supposedly] considering bandwith
limitation and/or per 'minute' charges.

When it's successful, mess it up! eBay motto, being adopted by others.

Not really. Someone must've thought of the binary traffic and decided
to halt it in some form(s). Good for business, bad for us.

Verizon isn't killing Usenet. However, they're limiting newsgroup access to
just the Big-8 plus their internal groups.

So you dump the -=binary=- groups, not the -=whole=- of usenet!

Per -=minute=- charges are then unequally applied as some have much greater
badwidth than others ... !

Not only that, but there are some REALLY "STOOPID" newsgroups out
there. Most of them are regurgitation or resentments by one or more
parties.

It would be a really utopian, nice type of thing if UseNet could get
cleaned up a bit (good pun) - it may be more enjoyable.

Naaaaaaaahhhhh - who the hell am I kidding?
