> Dotcom wants to commit Mega to purchasing $20 million of bandwidth from the new cable company that he would resurrect, since Mega is now registered in New Zealand. According to the NBR, that would give Dotcom around half of what he needs if he paid for ten years. Even if that were to work, Mega would have to prove extremely popular, with Megaupload previously purchasing $40 million of bandwidth. Dotcom says that the company will consume 2 terabits of daily bandwidth, which in perspective is more bandwidth in a day than the entire country uses right now.
I clicked the "According to the NBR" link (http://www.nbr.co.nz/opinion/kim-dotcoms-pacific-fibre-fantasy-vs-rod-drurys-ppp-reality http://www.nbr.co.nz/opinion/kim-dotcoms-pacific-fibre-fanta...) and found nothing there, so can't work out if I'm missing something or if they're talking rubbish.
As they were talking about the total cost being $400m, and 10 years covering half, they are saying that Mega would pay $20m/year? And use 2TB/day? Meaning $27400/terabit (~$22000 USD)?
- AdrienPothier 14y agoI think it means 2 Tbps, which makes a lot more sense.
