I remember when Cox had newsgroups. So few people used them that there was barely a whimper when Cox closed them down. I think something similar will happen to Cox email. Slowly, less and less people will use it until it's a cost burden too great to justify.

When I say newsgroup, I mean the file sharing variety like Usenet, so different then a forum. When Cox shut there's down people who still used it moved to 3rd party solutions. The same will happen when Cox "eventually" shuts down their email or outsources it completely to a non-branded solution like Verizon did.
Forums replaced the discussion newsgroups and social media replaced the file sharing variety. Besides, who shares files anymore? MP3 anyone?
I'm not implying people no longer use newsgroups, but various innovations on the web have all but replaced newsgroups. As of yet, however, what innovation has "closed down" email?
