There definitely seems to be a huge difference between that and just offering usenet access......I am at a loss at how that could possibly help webmaster, designers or programs?

As noted several times in this thread, we are a Usenet service provider.
We do not extract, edit or archive newsgroup content. We are not Fusker, we are not GUBA, we have nothing in common with any of those services.
We offer realtime access to Usenet newsgroups through a web-based newsreader that we developed. It's no different than the Microsoft Outlook newsreader, except that our interface is web-based and does not require end users to download/install 3rd party applications. They use their web browser.
We've been providing this service to retail and commercial clients for the past 12 years. It is the same type of service that Comcast, Adelphia, RoadRunner, Earthlink, etc. provides to their retail and commercial customers.
ISPs, telcos, web portals, universities, government agencies, national newspapers, law firms, corporations, etc. come to us when they want to provide Usenet newsgroup access to their end users, but they don't want to operate the servers, storage & bandwidth required to sustain a Usenet service that conveys 800 GB of newsgroup content daily.
They can outsource that headache, overhead, and cost to us for as little as $75/month... and make the newsgroups accessible to their end users through a web-based newsreader that they can brand to match the appearance of their site.
That's just a few of the ways that our service helps webmasters, designers and developers.
Like any other product/service it may not be a good fit for everyone, but if you had any questions please feel free to phone or email our staff. We're available 7 days a week.
