Verizon blocking access to ALT groups

Exactly! I'm betting ISPs have been hoping for this
moment for a long time. It's a HUGE expense to support Usenet servers
that
carry binary
groups. Now they can cut costs and blame it all on someone else.
It wouldn't surprise me a bit to see other ISPs jumping on the
bandwagon now
that
the NYS AG office has made itself the perfect scapegoat.
Yes, I give it about six months until the others follow...right after
they put themselves in the position to be a *paid provider.*
