Your internet service provider may indeed have a free usenet news server to
subscribers. There are a few free news servers left but not many. Deja news
provides a free web access to usenet.
There are well over 25,000 news groups on usenet. The exact count varies from
server to server.
If you do not have a news server (nntp server) with your ISP then you can
subscribe to one on the internet.
