I'm working with a company that has to move vast quantities of digital movies over the network, from a central location to remote digital signs. This requires the services of what is called a CDN (Content Distribution Network.)
We have to move about 2 GB of new content to 500 remote devices every month. That comes out to exactly 1000 GB or 1 TB. So I happen to know what the cost of 1 TB network data is at the moment.
It costs $1000 US to move that much data in a month. Interesting, eh? At this point, based on current CDN costs, it would be cheaper to buy a new 1 TB disk and copy your data and physically mail it, than to transmit 1 TB over the net.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
