I've never set one up but checked into it a little a long time ago.

I was told that a server would have to be setup as the home and hopefully
the group would be accecpted by other "news servers" at which time bandwidth
becomes a concern.  big bucks way back when.

I am not current on this issue however.

P.S. options maybe but If I owned any it would be sold.  To me that is a

Now shorting the hell out of it would be easy and I'm surprised nobody is?
