Let’s take a step back for a second. 250 GB/month is a very large amount of data. I won’t repeat the fact that far fewer than 1% of our customers use more than that. Oops. Sorry. Now, to hit that threshold you’d have to download more than 60,000 4 Mb songs in a month. On iTunes, that would cost about $60,000. A month. And how long would it take for you to listen to that many hours of music? 60,000 songs X 4 minutes/song that’s the equivalent of 4,000 hours of music per month. There are only 720 hours in a typical 30 day month. So, that’s almost half a year of music to listen to 24 hours a day for 30 days a month. And, by the way, if you keep going along this tack, you’d spend $720,000 a year.
“Getting too close completely blurred what we saw to the point of incomprehension, but again, this shows a whole heap of potential that's fascinating to us.”
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
That's all well and good, but if the service is still capped at 250GB/month, all it does is help me hit the ceiling faster.
Well of course, why have your service cut off for the last week of the month when you can have it cut off 2 weeks earlier? lol
