p2p news / p2pnet: Rogers Cable recently made Usenet useless as far as its subscribers are concerned. But, "at least one stand-alone Usenet access provider is offering discounts to ‘refugees’," says dslreports.

"Rogers claims users were no longer interested, and the move was in part an effort to combat child porn.

"Users in our Rogers forum discuss which Usenet providers they’ve migrated to."

Nice one, Rogers.
