While not material to the technical discussion, I would point out that it is doubtful any large corp. would want to distro full USENET these days given the legal implications - see http://isoc-ny.org/?p=252 - mind you Cuomo is otherwise engaged these days. j
Yes, you *CAN* engineer a "completely different" methodology for delivering a full USENET feed to end-users via satellite transmission. However, doing so is contrary to the premise of the existing discussion.
