As you say, a full "push" newsfeed is expensive both in terms of bandwidth and in terms of costs. But, you can set up a "sucking" feed quite cheaply using a dynamic NNTP server like leafnode, or DNEWS or something like that. And there's no per-user cost as long as your upstream ISP runs a newsserver that allows sucking feeds. Leafnode for example appears identically as a newsreader client to the newsfeed, and the number of users that access it is invisible to the upstream feed.
