Thanks to Mike Masnick at TechDirt for linking to my post on TechLiberation.com and quoting me in his post “Is Google Really Using 21x The Bandwidth It Pays For?”
In the post, I explain how a recent study put out by Precursor LLC claims to have calculated Google’s total bandwidth use declaring “Google uses 21 times more bandwidth than it pays for.”
I point out that this claim true of any site on the web. That’s why consumers pay for bandwidth too, along with all the peering arrangments that connect networks to other networks. That’s why it’s called Internet.
