Question:

Since the new group seems to be a newsgroup just like the others, how
does that help those of you whose ISPs no longer carry newsgroups?


In a nut shell, when an ISP stops carrying newsgroups, it only means
they stop providing a news server. It doesn't mean they won't let you
find someone else's news server.
Until recently, ISPs either provided their own server or they had some
arrangement with someone like Giganews.
