Subject: usenet about to die?
I've been hearing rumblings from folks I know that Usenet is going to be
dropped by most (of not all) of the broadband providers. On top of this, the
same providers will simply not tell their customers anything about it.

in some research, I came across this link on slashdot:

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/11/18/1510259&from=rss

what we need is an intelligent and considered response to this. I use usenet
to get answers for linux questions. if usenet goes away, so does access to
some of my informational capability. We must consider usenet to be a public
resource (much as IRC is and e-mail definitely is) and convince these
broadband providers NOT to drop the ball here.

comments?
