No, he's right. 60$/mbit *is* cost per rate, because bandwidth is usually 
billed based on 95th percentile. In other words, if you sell 23 concurrent 
channels, it is reasonable to expect that at least 5% of time, 20+ 
channels will be in use, and thus you would be obligated to pay for 
roughly 1Mbit of IP transit capacity.

You going to have to do better than that if you want to do mailing list 
criticism.
