There ''is'' no cabal, but there ''was'' an effective cabal in the early days of Usenet. This group was often known as the Backbone Cabal , which consisted of a number of large "backbone" sites that distributed most of the Usenet traffic. Some of these sites paid thousands of dollars per month for the communication links servicing Usenet, often hidden in large telecommunications budgets. (Since the late 1990s, the growth of cheap high-speed Internet connections has made a backbone organization largely unnecessary.)
