Telecom puts it's foot in it's mouth once again...

BTW Telecom, err, sorry, Xtra have decided that Usenet is not a service provided by Xtra (even though they've provided a usenet server since Xtra was started), so going on that logic, the Internet itself is not a service provided by Xtra (since all they do is provide a route to it), therefore Xtra can terminate it's Internet connectivity at anytime with minimal notice... if any...
