New.net added Prodigy to their latest list of big ISP partners who are
making new.net names resolvable in their dns.
This is a big coup, and effects more ISPs than just prodigy, since
Prodigy is also wholesaling to other ISPs.
A couple more big wholesalers would give them the momentum that would
make it hard for other ISPs to justify not loading the configs.
(BTW, the current new.net visibility number is over 40,000,000.
Congrats to Mr Hernand and Patrick Greenwell and all the others at
New.net)
