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.
