    IMHO Individual.net is run by an individual, much like most of the

    News.Individual.net is provided by FU (Free University) Berlin, one of three State
    Universities in Berlin, Germany. It is run by the IT department (ZEDAT)
    of FU University.

    Does that university offer free accounts or only at cost Usenet accounts?

    News.Individual.net costs money for external people.
