>But here is the best part (if you want OUTBOUND capacity) - our current product fills the INBOUND internet connection, but currently we only use a tiny, tiny fraction of the OUTBOUND connection. So if you want to serve files out of our datacenter we have a metric ton of unused bandwidth we would LOVE you to use. And if you fill it up, we promise to purchase more.

:) well, yeah -- but thats also what B2 charges for.... so The business model requires that BW to start getting consumed :-)

That's the first thing I noticed: This is awesome if most of your data is never touched. The moment you want to serve it up a lot, of course they promise to purchase more: Their bandwidth prices are as outrageously high as Amazon's.

If you serve up viral videos etc. and start eating a ton of bandwidth, even a "do it yourself" CDN out of VPS's could quickly save you a fortune...
