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.*

UseNet is too low budget for that. With individual.net charging
10 Euros per *year* it takes thousands of subscribers to
justify one junior engineer running the servers and tens of
thousands of subscribers to build a server farm. Even charging
$10 per month as an extra service few can justify the head
count.
