I am immensely saddened by this decision, for multiple reasons. But the saddest part is the idea that it's too expensive to run such a service. It used to be the case that you could stand up an FTP server and run it for years with scarcely a thought because it would consume very little in the way of bandwidth, CPU time, or human resources and present a minimal risk to the hardware and network hosting it. These days, rightly or wrongly, people believe that to not be the case. And I submit that if this is true, or even if it's mistakenly believed, we have all failed in making the Internet work well.
