Verizon is one of the big ones. Usenet is pretty much on life support at the moment. Twitter, Blogs,social sites etc have replaced it and many of the younger folks have no idea that Usenet even exists. Also the binary groups put a huge load on the servers and of course the RIAA is all over these ISPs to ditch binary groups so it seems that the text groups like this one are going to become casualties of war. Usenet is alive and well and living on Usenet-specific vendor servers around the planet. Usenet is evolving from a ISP-supported service to a specialty-provider service (and Google Groups, of course.) The sky is not falling. That younger folks don't know that Usenet exists appears to be a benefit, IMHO. :-) Twitter, blogs, and other "social sites" are NOT the same functionality as Usenet newsgroups. |

I suspect there wll always be a usenet as long as there is a military. P |
