Re: usenet (was: DCAnet (was: Re: [PLUG] Comcast Crackdown)


| Jeremy Nixon and some of the other very Big New Sites have said that users
| (which none of the local ISPs have boatloads of on broadband) take up multiples
| of bandwidth compared to feeds, if I'm remembering the discussions correctly.

a typical news-server should[1] have more bandwidth used by end-users reading
news than the total inbound feed; but this will generally be "local" traffic,
and not across expensive transit links.

[1] those that count beans would say that if it wasn't more, one should
    be outsourcing news.
