Postings in news.announce.newusers.
That's ridiculous. One shopping for an ISP, without access to the Net, is not in a position to read a notice in a newsgroup. It makes sense that censorship and forgery advocates would also suggest means of hiding the truth. Again, if an ISP were to advertise "Newsgroups censored through forgery" -- in electronic, print and broadcast media, or wherever advertisements are placed or material made available to investors, then that would be "due notice".
