| NNTP is doing broadcast distribution over unicast media. That must fail
| some day.
Broadcast as far as networking protocols are concerned usually means
packets sent to every host on a segment. Broadcast packets are usually not
routeable. NNTP is not broadcast.
You may be thinking of multicast, which is similar to broadcast in that it
sends packets to many machines, but it is different in that multicast
packets are routeable and multicast packets are not sent to every machine.
NNTP is not multicast, either.
So, what is it that you are trying to say?
