| I voted with my feet on this one. Called good old Ma Bell up last Friday, the day the alt. binaries were taken down, had me a talk with the customer service rep. I pointed out that it should at the very least have involved a new TOS agreement, and to have accepted feedback would have been nice too, but, that since they did neither, I was moving to ComCast. I had stuck with AT&T because of the newsgroup link, and since the cable company was charging the same amount of money for a faster connection, I was gone.
Of course Ma Bell couldn't care less, but at least I got a few words in.
I don't see nntp going away any time soon, no matter what Big Bushy Brother does. The farms can just move offshore into friendlier Eastern realms where as long as it's in English they don't care what you do. |
