Default Where will everyone go after Comcast NG is gone?

basically, Comcast doesn't HAVE any newsgroups, that I know of, only lets (used
to let) you access newsgroups through Comcast..
Seems to me that when I had Comcast, they contracted to Giganews, so that
Comcast could "allow" newsgroups..
Now that they took that away from you, you need a new newsserver..
They range from free to very expensive, depending on your needs..

I use APN, it's $3 a month and I think that allows 12 gigabytes a month..

As much as I use newsgroups, I'm not going to stop accessing them to save $36 a
year, are you? YMWV
