Someone has to provide an NNTP server for your client to connect to. Many ISPs don't. Things like gmane can be used, of course. Some of the free ones can be okay. I like http://news.individual.net/ who, while not free, are pretty cheap, and they carry comp.lang.haskell.
...and when you view a web page, your web browser has to connect to a web server somewhere. I don't see your point...
