Probably. Yes.
IIRC, a full feed of usenet (3 years ago) was approx 250GB+ per day. The
overwhelming majority of that was multi-part binaries. Cut them out and
you should have plenty of room across the transponder, which (again, 3
years ago) was capable of DS3 capacity.
I haven't had the misfortune of dealing with usenet feeds since then, so
I'm unfamiliar with the requirements of nntp peering today.
