The idea is that cost of storing 1GB will reduce over time ending up being a convergent infinite sum.

- imtringued 5y agowhat if it gets stuck at the low low price of 1cent per exabyte?
- jessriedel 5y agoEven if the yearly cost is lower bounded, the net-present cost will be finite for perpetual storage so long as economic growth continues. Basically, an endowment: give Internet Archive X dollars as a one-time lump sum to invest and they can spend rX dollars per year on storage forever, where r ~ 3%.
