| Re: Is AT&T removing alt.* newsgroups This has been posted and reposted on the BS support newsgroup in the last 24 hours and so far Dennis has not made any comment whatsoever. If he continues to not respond then I think it's a done deal. Afterall he made the statement a few days ago, "there are NO changes scheduled for the AT&T/BS newsgroup service". Apparently that schedule was changed quickly.
Of course if it is confirmed a whole crew of people are going to start screaming that "I'm leaving AT&T/BS because of this". That will be fruitless because before long all the ISP's are going to follow suit and get rid of the alt hierarchy or usenet altogether.
May as well bite the bullet and get a premium news service and stay with AT&T/BS. |
