Verizon has one, though it took a while to get the specifics on what I needed to have to
access it. They decided a while back that they were no longer going to provide any access
to the alt.* stuff, none whatsoever, which is a damn shame because that's where I
found some useful stuff from time to time...

But not everyone has access to a usenet server
anymore.
If they ever did they also do now. Nothing has changed. Servers come and
go. Some ISPs have them, some don't. There are several good free ones, and
even a usenet newsgroup just for talking about free news servers called
alt.free.newsservers.
