Quick math says to do 2TB in a month, one has to download 24/7 at ~6.2Mbit/s (~780 Kilobytes/sec).<br><br>Let's say an SP pays $100 per 1Mbit/s for transit (yes, I know many SPs will pay for their transit less or much less, while others more - it is just an example), so it will *COST* ~$620 for *IP transit alone* to support this kind of download quota at this type of cost.<br>
<br>Yes, I realise that most probably most of that 2TB is probably envisaged to be some form of "unmetered" content, like IPTV/VOD/whatever.<br><br>-- D<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 5:39 PM, Grahame Lynch <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:grahamelynch@commsdaymail.com">grahamelynch@commsdaymail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
