What’s Usenet and how can I access it with modern hardware (phones/laptops)?
Pretty much the question. I heard about Usenet a while back but never managed to wrap my head around it.

If I recall correctly, ISPs were often running their own Usenet servers. This meant that traffic didn’t leave their networks and thus they paid less network interchange fees.
These days maybe only niche ISPs in some parts of the world might be running Usenet servers. Majority of them are run by specific companies created specifically for the purpose.
