It's not quite the death of Usenet (which has been predicted, incorrectly, countless times). Verizon's plan is to eliminate some "fairly broad newsgroup areas." Sprint said it would no longer offer any of the tens of thousands of alt.* Usenet newsgroups. Time Warner Cable said it will cease to offer customers access to any Usenet newsgroups, a decision that will affect customers nationwide. What Cuomo didn't say is that his agreement with broadband providers means that they will broadly curb customers' access to Usenet-the venerable pre-Web home of some 100,000 discussion groups, only a handful of which contain illegal material. New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced on Tuesday that Verizon Communications, Time Warner Cable, and Sprint would "shut down major sources of online child pornography."
