AOL Pulls Plug on Newsgroup Service
The world's largest ISP is cutting off direct access to one of the oldest,
coolest -- and strangest -- parts of the Internet.
America Online has quietly announced that it will discontinue providing
member access to Usenet newsgroups next month. In recent days, AOL
subscribers who access keyword "Newsgroups" are greeted with a pop-up
message informing them of the change: "Please Note: The AOL Newsgroup
service will be discontinued in early 2005."
