I can believe it, but my opinions with regard to Usenet news are a little
dated. :-) I'm interested in carrying newsgroups that have people talking to
other people, not groups full of multi-part binaries of music, warez,
robo-posted job offers, and all of that noise.
If you refuse (or discard) articles larger than 40K or so, and poison
*.binaries, what's left is relatively high in human-produced content and each
such feed consumes only 200 Kbs or so.
