[OT] La liamos, se acabo el news.individual.net gratuito

Esto es lo que me ha llegado hace un rato :-((((((

The tradition of running news servers at Freie Universitaet Berlin goes
back as far as 1989 (historic keyword: "Methan"). The news service was
open for external users ever since: Until 1992, there was no access
restriction at all (as usual at that time). Later, a basic access
management where IP numbers and domain names were added on request was
established.
Starting with the CIS project (a third-party funded project of DFN)
of ZEDAT of Freie Universitaet Berlin, the news service was expanded
by the feature of registration for individual users in the beginning
of the year 1998:
News.CIS.DFN.DE was born. (*)
(*) see Message-ID: <6apqmg$rbe$
After the CIS project was finished in mid 2002, the administrators kept
this service alive by maintaining it mainly in their spare time. Since
this was not sustainable in perpetuity, options on how to raise money
from external people and institutions for the provision and maintenance
of the service had to be researched and created. Several approaches to
find sponsors for the service eventually failed, especially due to the
lack of understanding by the potential sponsors for the nature of Usenet.
Since July 1th, 2003, ZEDAT offers - again in cooperation with DFN - news
services to other research and education institutions for money (service
name: "DFNNetNews"). In the course of this cooperation, the server name
"News.CIS.DFN.DE" vested exclusively to DFNNetNews:
"News.Individual.DE" and "News.Individual.NET" are the new server names
under which the service is available for the more than 250,000 external
individual users that were registered since the beginning of 1998.
After a long evaluation and preparation period, the service will convert
to a fee-based service for these external individual users effective from
April 1th, 2005. We regret that it is no longer possible to offer this
service free of charge.
We would be very happy if our service convinced its users of its quality
and of the engagement of its operators during the many years of its
existence so that they decide to stay our users even if the service is not
free of charge anymore.
Besides, we would - of course - like to thank all people that recommended
our service over the years and used it responsibly and carefully in the
spirit of Usenet!
Best regards,
the NetNews Team of Freie Universitaet Berlin

Y en castellano que quiere?

Lo que quiere es que paguemos por un buen servicio. Yo ya me he
abonado como usuario de pago. Son 10 Euros por año. Como estoy
cansado de servidores de news gratuitos pero con fallos, he pagado
por el uso de este servidor. Y eso que poquísimas veces ocurre que yo
pague por elgo en Internet. En este caso me merece la pena.
Saludos.

Su ISP no le ofrece un servidor de news estable y gratuito ??
