So are you saying Comcast and Verizon will drop Usenet because they
can't afford the storage?

My take is that affording it is not the issue, but return on investment/labor..

When I'm in a group of folks talking about "news groups", they all think I'm
talking about browser based "forums"...
I doubt that a very large percentage of ISP customers even KNOW that Usenet even
exists..

If I ran an ISP, I'd look at what it costs in equipment/labor/support/etc. and
probably drop it or, as Comcast did, farm it out..
