As of December 18, 2006, the USENET News server has been permanently retired.

Although USENET News services continued to be an important resource for some, the overall decline in readership, coupled with theincrease in traffic volume, placed unique pressure on the server's ability to deliver a high-quality news service.

Recommended alternatives to USENET News include:

Supernews costs approximately $43/year for text group access and $66/year for binaries.
