And it took up roughly 150 GB. Six average BluRay movies take up as much space on disk as the 1998 internet. Hosting that much on Amazon S3 would cost about $20

And it took up roughly 150 GB. Six average BluRay movies take up as much space on disk as the 1998 internet. Hosting that much on Amazon S3 would cost about $20 per month, not including bandwidth bills. Boggles the mind, doesn't it?

It goes to show that even if space and bandwidth are cheap (and they will only get cheaper), creating content will always be enormously expensive.
