Just received this from Cidera:

"We regret to inform you that Cidera has discontinued its netnews and
caching services effective immediately.

We wished to provide you with more advanced notification of this termination
of service, but unfortunately we were not able to do so.

The current economic situation has been difficult for us and for our
customers, and we wish all of you the best of luck and good fortune with
your businesses. Everyone at Cidera feels it has been a privilege to serve
you."

I am now in need of obtaining a new source for news that is satellite based.
Can anyone offer any suggestions
and or recommendations? All information is appreciated!

Regards,
Jeff
