Brent,
Traffic on Usenet is at a trickle compared to what it was in the
1980s and 1990s when I was heavily active there. The worldwide web has
supplanted it for the most part.
I don't think there's anything close to 1TB of new information
posted on the text groups, and I don't know of anyone who's archived the
binaries groups. Also, in the grand scheme of things for companies like
Google, Amazon, and a number of others, 1TB is far, far, far less than the
proverbial drop in a bucket.
Brian
