I think the real cost will be the broadband. The whole map is 2 petabytes large, so each area has to be loaded seperately which will take up a lot of space.

Its probably not too bad. You only see a tiny slice at a time. They must have pre-cached regions, as you specified ahead of time where you will fly.
