You must have misread their announcement.  They tell you to use a 
commercial news service if you wish to access news groups they don't 
carry, provided it is legal to do so.

"If I want to access Newsgroups different from the ones you carry, what 
are my options?

There are several commercial news providers that you can consider. You 
may want to check out some options at

The content available, posting policies, terms and prices will vary, so 
you should select the one that is right for you. If you elect to access 
a non-Verizon newsgroup over the Verizon Network, our terms of service 
and acceptable use policy will still apply to your use of our Service."
