Ameritech Kills ABF
It cost ATT a bundle to debate this issue and finally take action to filter
out the alt groups, including many that many of us considered a value add to
the ATT IP service bundle. Pressure did not come from those that enjoyed the
hundreds of free communications from friends around the world, it came from
a a well organized group of narrow minded biggots and fear mongers. Some of
these are on the ATT board and some are within company management.
Hopefully, with a massive change in the Washington policy makers, a new
vision of freedom will spring from these recessionary times of repression.
At least we have had a taste of freedom.

Seems as though the ATT companies have ditched the alt.binaries groups.
Verizon dumped all of the alt groups.

yep, food, gardening, and pond binaries are G-O-N-E but there are
several S & M groups left.

Really don't think it was the laywers, the suits are just hiding
behind that to save money, (and potential hassle), it's a win win for
them, they're ****ing off only a small minority of their users.
Coming up next: Metered usage.
They're already testing it.
