Why should you? packets are packets; does your upstream provider charge you less for news? Are you magically capable of moving news across your own network cheaper than web traffic?
Of course packets are packets. But if I'm running a news server I get the packet once and hopefully sell it serveral times. Especially taking into account that news is of high volume you might charge less for news. Of course as soon as the customer gets the feed from someone else there is no reason do not charge it.
