What it seems to boil down to is that each host is a mirror and does not necessarily discontinue a group when the original host does. There are many ISPs that will probably continue the MS groups. Also, these two free servers seem to be committed to continuing service: eternal-september.org and aioe.org I say "seem" because I'm depending on info. from people more familiar with the system, and I never saw a *really* clear explanation. From what I can gather, a host like MS may or may not send out an official message to end a given group. Then other mirrors may or may not decide to act on that message. My understanding is that the two hosts above have no intention of acting on such a message. I imagine that MS could decide to play dirty and try to get all mirrors shut down through coercion of one kind or another. I have no idea whether that's likely.
