Those who do can buy their own subscriptions. It is a cost that ISP's can avoid so that 97% of the users aren't paying extra for the 3% that do use it. -- -- Join Red Room Forum My Web Page

rradina join:2000-08-08 Chesterfield, MO	But like one post said, will this stop a rate increase or lower current rates? If only 3% use it and yet all customers are paying for it, then where's the return for the customer?

Jason Levine Premium join:2001-07-13 USA	Microsoft already offers software that can be used to browse newsgroups: Outlook Express. It's not the software that's the issue, it's the connection to Usenet. The ISP is terminating their NNTP servers connections so the users will have to purchase a separate subscription (or use Google Groups). -- -Jason Levine My Gallery \| Jason's Toolbox \| PCQandA.com \| URateit.com
