Usenet isn't dying in the slightest.
Noone cares if shitty ISPs drop access. They had crap retention and limited groups.

Anyone who uses Usenet goes through a provider.

Usenet is dying?
- Giganews just upped to 240 days binary retention, and traffic has been steadily increasing [ www.top1000.org ]
- Virgin in the UK just opened up a full access Usenet service for its clients, after having pressure put on them to terminate file sharers. [ Source: http://torrentfreak.com/isp-to-volun...ternet-080331/ ]
