Verizon Clarifies Newsgroup Changes → Dumb Pipe

I have seen many times on this site requests for ISP's to provide a dumb Pipe. Surely removing newsgroups is getting closer to that.

This is a positive thing..isnt it?

it's like energy market deregulation. sounds good in theory, but do it piece meal and you end up screwing everyone and some giant corporation then goes bankrupt.

In theory that sounds great. But the question becomes, are we going to see a lower monthly bill because of this? All signs point to NO.

It'll just be extra profit on their income statement.

ok

I want a dumb pipe from time warner. ONE WHERE I DONT NEED TO OPT OUT OF THE DNS redirect that company does.
