[Internode-Bulletins] New Premium Usenet service launched

[internode-bulletins at lists.internode.on.net]

Dear Internode Customer,

* New Premium Usenet service

Before the World Wide Web, there was Usenet.

Usenet is a system that provides a globally distributed discussion 
system, spanning the globe and offering over 30,000 distinct Usenet 
'newsgroups'.

While many discussions now take place using web based forums, Usenet is 
still alive and well.

Many ISPs in Australia are winding back their support for Usenet 
services, and only offering a 'partial' Usenet news feed, because of the 
large resource requirements inherent in offering full newsgroup access 
to their customers.  However, Internode has moved in the other direction...

We have, today, launched a 'Premium grade' Usenet service, which offers 
a full global Usenet feed at the same level offered by paid-access 
'Premium' Usenet service providers in the USA. This new Usenet service 
is available to our customers at no extra cost.

This service replaces the previous Internode Usenet service.

As a result, customers who have been using our old Usenet service may 
need to reset the article cache in their Usenet client software in order 
to gain access to the new service.
