I've been thinking about something like this too. What's sexy about 10TB is that they arbitrage SoftLayer who has 3 well positioned, and very well peered datacenters (Seattle, Dallas, and Virginia). If 10TB gives you the option to provision servers at each of the datacenters, then you have the beginnings of a CDN. If SL will allow you to then use their Anycast DNS service and serve different responses out of the dns servers they have in each of the three datacenters, then you have a poor man's CDN. At $0.0098/GB, you could sell bandwidth for $0.06/GB, and have a compelling introductory price for low-volume customers.
