Doesn't have to be local.  I use a server in Berlin.
 Back in the 80's I used to run the USENET (and UUCP)
 gateway for Finland.
 
I used to run a server at the University where I worked.  Used to score
very high in ratings.  Had a satellite feed as well as the terrestrial ones
and moved a lot of news in my time.  Those were good times.
