Please note that on or around July 15, 2009, AT&T will no longer be
offering access to the Usenet Netnews service. If you wish to continue
reading Usenet newsgroups, access is available through third-party
vendors.

Of course, you folks will reduce your monthly service charge, since you are
providing fewer services.

Right?


Don't count on that. Anyhow, I've just signed on with news.individual.de
at Berlin University. 10 Euros a year, no spam-related issues, meaning a
domain that has a low chance of being blocked anywhere.

I've used Individual for five years or so. I've been quite happy with
their service. No binaries though.

Now I just have to wait until they have processed my payment which does
not seem to be a next-day event.

Should be the next day. IIRC, the payment get routed through someone
on this side of the pond.
