Ah, 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.
