Usenet is still around. Because NNTP is distributed, Usenet will exist as long as there's at least one NNTP server carrying any group from the Big 7 hierarchies. In fact, it would even exist if there were two nodes exchanging messages for such a group over dial-up UUCP.

I haven't used public NNTP in years myself, though, since I stopped paying for my Newsguy account. But I'm sure there are plenty who are still using it.
