Sorry to get pedantic, folks, but we're talking about Usenet NEWS, here, not Usenet, in general. Usenet News was simply one of the services available through that UUCP/dialup connected network of systems called Usenet. Usenet, itself, is even closer to being dead than Usenet News, now that this news system has switched mainly to being carried by NNTP over the Internet.
Usenet still runs a majority of backbone connections in the U.S. - but I know of no dial-up UUCP connections that are still in use.
