	Why UUNet Sucks
		UUNet, a Virginia-based company, is a major communications firm and one of the 'backbone' providers of connectivity to the 'net.
		UUNet, in one form or another, is also the world's largest source of UCE -- often referred to as "bulk e-mail" or "spam" (with sincere apologies to the fine Minnesota company Hormel, Inc.) -- probably the biggest scourge on the internet today.
		UUNet uses a network of service resellers that function under a shield of anonymity that UUNet provides, and given this anonymity, some of these resellers in turn provide connectivity to sources of the seediest 'business' practice on the net.

	Death penalty lifted against UUNet \| CNET News.com
		Usenet activists are lifting a "death penalty" against backbone Internet provider UUNet (UUNT), saying that spam from the ISP's customers to newsgroups has dropped so dramatically that the action is no longer necessary.
		The so-called Usenet death penalty, or UDP, is slated to be lifted at 2 p.m.
		McClain-Furmanski and others said they targeted UUNet in particular because the provider has been unresponsive to complaints about spam and because the ISP is allegedly responsible for the majority of spam on newsgroups.

		UUNet last week became the first internet service provider to fall foul of tough new laws on intercepting emails.
		The crucial part of the law states that it is an offence to "intentionally and without lawful authority" intercept any communication in the course of its transmission.
		Richard Woods, UUNet's public affairs advisor, said the company was unaware that looking at this information without a warrant might be in breach of RIP interception rules, claiming that it constituted a grey area.
