They can then subscribe to the favored groups and download that news via uucp (compressed batches). Email is also easily handled this way. They can use netscape/nnrp via their ppp/slip access to look for new news groups to get hooked on. This is actually a good mix of old and new. You might check to see if your provider can do the same.
