"Thus Google’s 16.5% share of all 2008 U.S. consumer bandwidth usage, is ~21 times greater than Google’s 0.8% share of U.S. consumer bandwidth costs – or an implicit ~$6.9 billion subsidy of Google by U.S. consumers."
Um, economy of scale, anyone? If Google paid the same rates the average consumer paid they would probably be bankrupt.
