NNTP: upstream server is pushing articles to your NNTP server. This
requires your NNTP server to be reachable (preferably permanently).

UUCP: upstream server ist collecting articles in batches (specifically
for you) and you poll these batches when ever you want. Then you feed
these batched to your local NNTP server service instance.

back in the day, connecting to the internet was often metered by the
minute and you connected e.g through dial-up. most people did not have
a permanent (round the clock) internet connection back then, and UUCP
was a great and affordable way to send and receive email and network news.
