here is the basic info for those wanting to start a COMP.DCOMP.CABLE-MODEM
newsgroup -

One of the more frequently posted questions is "How can I create a new
newsgroup?"  Briefly, creating a new newsgroup in the comp, humanities,
misc, news, rec, sci, soc or talk hierarchies involves first proposing the
newsgroup in news.announce.newgroups, then conducting a "vote" among those
Usenet readers who have an opinion on the proposed group.  The entire
process can take up to three months.

additional info is in the NEWS.ANNOUNCE.GROUPS or ANNOUNCE.NEWGROUPS
