All 20,000,000 of them?
There are not 20,000,000 news servers on the Internet. Probably more
like 200,000 (and that's only an average of 100 readers per -- both
universities in town have one news server for 600-700 hosts).
I seem to recall that the (unitless) 20,000,000 figure refers to
*people* on the Internet, not hosts. So please revise the above,
saying "... one news server for 3000 users".
