as a consultant, I picked up cloudinary for a client, promised "75,000 Total Images & Videos" then a team of four people used the free data shortly, they contact us saying to either pay $44 per month or shutdown, why? we are over free bandwidth...

relocated a developer to spent some hours writing a restful services, now paying ~$0.030 per GB
