Re: The Comcast Newsgroups Service Discontinued

Give us a break. They're dropping 70,000 filtered text groups.

This is just the first salvo in the war against all P2P traffic. The internet is being converted into one never-ending Geico commercial. I guarantee ISPs will be blocking all P2P traffic within a year or two.

I didn't say NNTP is P2P. I'm saying this reduction of service is just one step in a larger process.
