usenet != cheap
You need a good 75tb of fast scsi disk to maintain a weeks worth of usenet. That number is also growing every week. Not sure if sata with hardware raid would be able to keep up.
My guess is there was also pressure from the *AA's too.
i doubt that.
the AA's would need proof that people were uploading content from rogers' IPs... no real pirates use traceable usenet accounts when uploading to usenet.
rogers might be tight on most issues, especially those that affect their revenue but they don't really care about piracy.
