As I understand it, a current USENET 'full feed', including binaries, take two dedicated 100mbit FDX fast ethernet links, and they are saturated _most_ of the day. At that rate, A full day of TV vertical interval transmission wuould handle under _ten_seconds_ worth of the inbound traffic. You would around =ten=thousand= analog TV channels to handle a contemporary 'full feed'.
And I remember the month, August 1982 I think it was, when I stopped being able to read *all* of Usenet. At least, everything my junior college took. :-) Cheers, - jra -- Jay R.
