UUCP is a protocol (actually a "protocol suite," but that's a

UUCP is only one of the various transports carrying Usenet
traffic.
10. Usenet is not a United States network.
It is true that Usenet originated in the United States, and the
fastest growth in Usenet sites has been there. Nowadays, however,
Usenet extends worldwide.
The heaviest concentrations of Usenet sites outside the U.S. seem
