Their CDN interconnect lowers that pricing to ~$0.04/Gb (US).

That's still very expensive. Wholesale rates for bandwidth are a fraction of a penny per GB.

That is still about $13/Mbps, or 26x transit pricing.

This isn't wholesale, but at least it's half what they quoted. Additionally, you're only paying to update the assets and CDN fees.
