NEWSFEED SERVER PROVIDERS
The following companies offer news feeds (NNTP Server Access) for private and/or commercial use.
Many of the providers below provide uncensored access, which means they do not filter any of the newsgroups in anyway because of illegality, race, pornography and so on. If an article is posted in a newsgroup, they will carry it and allow you to download it.

They allow you to use any Newsreader software such as Microsoft Outlook / Express, Forte Agent, News Rover, Newsleecher etc to read news from thousands of worldwide newsgroups on hundreds of different topics for a small monthly subscription fee.
The newsfeed providers are not interested in what you post or read in the newsgroups. They merely provide access to the forums (newsgroups), they are not in charge of them. This allows the forums to be extremely open for controversal subjects as well as encouraging the posting of the latest binaries including the most up to date user generated content.
To help protect your privacy even further, some providers such as Giganews allow connections via a secure port to stop people like your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or mallicious software from snooping on your surfing. You may have encountered Secure Webpages before when surfing things like Internet Banking or E-Commerce sites and the same theory applies.
Neither UsenetIndex nor the parties linked encourage piracy of copyrighted material. Before downloading any commercial software / music etc from these newsfeeds you should ensure that you have the appropriate licenses.
