News-Service.com Latest News

Dear customer,

You may have noticed that our retention for the binary newsgroups has increased rapidly in recent weeks. On Wednesday 30 June 2010, for instance, we notified you that our retention had reached 300 days and that it will continue to grow. At the moment of this writing, actual retention for the binary newsgroups has reached 317 days.

It is not only our retention for the binary newsgroups which is rising. We are proud to be able to tell you that our retention for the text newsgroups has now reached an impressive 4 years. Every text article posted in a text group over the past four years can still be retrieved using our services. If you are curious as to which text newsgroups are most active, we invite you to have a look at our Usenet Statistics which includes an analysis of yesterday’s text newsfeed specifying an article count by newsgroup listing.

News-Service.com is a tier-1 Usenet Provider operating its own hardware and its own network allowing us to offer unlimited speeds, 100% uptime and an unparalleled completion regardless of the age of the articles.

Actual retention details can always be found on our website: http://www.news-service.com/retention.

Dear customer,

We would like to inform you about the latest developments related to the legal procedures brought against News-Service.com by Stichting Brein.

On Tuesday 18 May 2010 we notified you of the Court's decision to give both parties the opportunity to submit a reply (“repliek”) and rejoinder (“dupliek”) prior to the next judgement being passed. Brein was expected to reply on 23 June 2010 and News-Service.com then had to issue a rejoinder on 4 August 2010.

However Brein recently contacted us to request more time for submitting its reply. News-Service.com decided to honor this request. Brein will now reply on 4 August 2010 and News-Service.com will issue a rejoinder on 27 October 2010.

Naturally we will keep you updated on any further developments. Should you have any questions or wish to share your views on this issue with us, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

With best wishes,

News-Service.com kindly asks your attention for the following.

Last weekend News-Service.com sponsored a De Zonnebloem LinQ event. De Zonnebloem LinQ is the youth division of the Dutch De Zonnebloem association. This organization aims to improve the quality of life of people with a physical limitation by arranging home visits, various activities and holidays. De Zonnebloem LinQ, which concentrates on people aged between 18 and 45, is also active on the internet.

News-Service.com was the main sponsor of the 'Composing music and songs' workshop presented by the band All the Best, consisting of John Meijer and Dick Plat, both members of the former successful Dutch band BZN. “Without the contribution of News-Service.com this event wouldn’t have been possible.” said one of the eleven LinQ volunteers who participated in this event. ”The workshop was really well received and we've had lots of compliments. Guests and volunteers all had a great time. I'd like to express my gratitude to News-Service.com for making this event possible.”

Patrick Schreurs, CTO of News-Service.com responded: “We take great pleasure in knowing that the workshop was such a success and that we could contribute to the admirable work of De Zonnebloem LinQ.
