Typical armchair IT observations. Typically naive.
First - the dollars are much more than that. We're paying in excess of $10K/month for our bandwidth, and as stated earlier, we've reduced our external bandwidth by more than 50% by eliminating all streaming content. For us - that's almost two average FTE's. And I assure you - there are organizations much larger than us, that see far greater savings.
Second - you assume excess bandwidth is available for purchase. We're in a major city - and as recently as two years back, we had the biggest pipe available to us.
