Kind of amazing to watch this slow process of the content companies discover that running a global internetwork is actually difficult and expensive..

  Do you really think Google didn't study it before building their network? You think they hired Vint Cerf to cook omelettes at the cafeteria, or something?

    There was a leak saying that Google had no internal cost accounting until ~2011, although most of the network has probably been built after that point.

      I find that very hard to believe, especially has a public company. Do you have a link?
