A few weeks back, Don Chen asked on bionet.general:

I echo his concerns.  Some of the people involved in network
development for Indiana U and for CICAnet (a midwest regional
network) are concerned about the fate of bionet newsgroups. We
would like to know if there is anything we can do to help 
continue some of the bionet services, particularly newsgroups
and possibly software/data archives.
