Propagation

Propagation refers to the distribution of Usenet posts from one Usenet system to another. For example, if you were to post a newsgroup article on Giganews' Usenet servers we would in turn "propagate" or feed that article to other Usenet servers around the Internet. A Usenet system which can quickly propagate your post to Usenet systems around the world is said to have good propagation. As the world's largest tier 1 Usenet provider and most peered Usenet system, Giganews offers the best propagation available on Usenet, thus ensuring your Usenet posts will be read by the rest of the Usenet community."
