The binaries will always be available. All it takes is a few USENET
providors who are willing to charge extra for this service (which
there are) and people who are willing to pay for them (which there
are).

But not everyone. Most people are cutting back services due to
housing and energy costs. Plus, many are on fixed income. Usenet
is part of the Internet and I'm not about to start paying extra for
it. Next, they will start charging for email.


People pay for what they want. USENET is cheap if all you want is
text.

Some people, however, are willing to pay extra for porn and illegal
downloads.

And some people want to see pictures about woodworking, airplanes, and
newsgroups such as bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts,
alt.comp.software.financial.quicken, and what have you, and arte willing
to pay a little extra for those.
