As Noah says "Bandwidth is cheap". However it's the space segment that kills us in UG.
Depending on their contention ratio, let's say 10:1 and allowing for a bit of burst capability, they can get 20 some odd customers out of each Mbps. At 2000 USD per Mbps, that makes a profit of ~700 per Mbps (before overhead, etc). Am I missing smt here?
Transfer based pricing might even make it cheaper. I am terrible at calculating that tho, can you point me to a clueful url on that. Google isn't much help I'm afraid!
