Coding Horror: The Economics of Bandwidth.

Interesting what the price of bandwidth is compared to hard drive pricing.  I’m mostly interested in this from a backup perspective, and sending data to an offset backup via 2-500GB hard drives would figure to be cheaper than sending data to an Amazon-hosted backup solution.

Update:

I just realized this is from 2007.  I don’t think the bandwidth costs have changed dramatically, but the hard drive price prices are very different.
