Just start your own news server (Score 1)

It seems like there's only half as many computer repair stores around as there were a few years ago, I think because everyone learned how to fix there own problems. Thing just keep getting cheaper and knowledge becomes more available. A year ago I installed linux for the first time, now I'm building my own news server which will be free to my friends. Of course I can't afford the bandwidth to service a country but I do have scads of cheap disk space. In the future the resources to provide a valuable service will be more affordable to the average person, -and- there will be many more average persons around with the skills to provide that service. Supply and Demand...If everyone can do it, how valuable is it?
