    From what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the cost to an ISP per gb is only a few cents if that...data is not a physical object, the only cost involved is the initial setup and maintenance of the system. Often it's the national telco that's to blame for these costs, since they charge the other operators fees in order to use their networks of fibre/phone lines. Put simply they own the infrastructure, and ISP's have to pass the costs on..
