$20/GB/s for ten hours. If you want to compare to bandwidth prices, it has to be scaled up to a month: 24*30/10 = 72 flights/month $1440 per month per GB/

Like, you, I suspect it would be significantly cheaper than this, but that calculation would require data I don't have.
- bd 16y agoAh, yes. For the lower bound, we can estimate just the price of fuel (no plane amortization, crew and ground personnel costs, airport taxes, etc). This seems to be currently about $54K per flight (London to San Francisco). 747 burns about 5 gallons per mile LHR to SFO is 5,367 miles current jet fuel price is 201.1 cts/gallon 5367*5*2 = $53,670 So monthly price per GB/s should be somewhere between $322 - $1,440.
