"Rogers has decided to stop offering access to USENET because of the low numbers of users and because they are committed to stop USENET as a transer medium for child pornography."
That's just not a good idea. What exactly does "low numbers" mean? 10% of all users? I use Usenet regularly and I've never run across problems with child porn. I suppose if a person really wanted to they could find some, but they could also find some on websites. Maybe Rogers should stop offering internet service as a way to curb the distribution of child porn. Idiots.
We have a tough time with the selection of ISPs in Canada, why make it more difficult for us? So instead of $34.95 a month with Usenet access, is Rogers going to drop their price to, say, $29.99 without it? I doubt it. So they're going to lose a bunch of users who need Usenet access to another ISP? Smart business move.
