Not knowing the cost is indeed a major factor stopping people from getting
such a service.

Netnews is a one-to-many medium, and satellite feeds are indeed a superbly
efficient mechanism of distribution for the downward link.   After all,
netnews is already flowing on many point-to-point links that happen to
be going via satellite -- what a waste.

A Satellite feed, with a phone-line back channel to request articles that
didn't make, it and to send out local postings and e-mail should be a big
win.  Instant delivery for a flat fee anywhere in the country.
