Yeah, if you're doing multi-gig files daily, block accounts aren't the
best choice.
But for mostly text users they can't be beat, and even for users doing a
mix of say mp3s and maybe a full CD ISO or two a day, or those doing
mostly still-images, blocks are likely to be best or competitive. It's
just when you get into full SDTV to HD length video that the gigs really
start flowing like Niagara, and time-blocks as opposed to gig-blocks tend
to be the better buy.
Or similar size non-video, but there really /isn't/ much non-video that
takes /that/ level of gigs. That I know of, anyway. Yes, there are very
occasional exceptions, but they tend to be pretty special case, and not
necessarily news server material as a result. How many petabytes of data
a year is the super-collider supposed to produce? But I don't believe
anyone's considering that practical for newsgroup distribution, tho I
could be wrong...
