If they have the cash to burn on crap like this.... They must charge their customers an arm and a leg. I have Cox and we have our TV and Internet for about $100 I think. Not too bad for digital cable and WWW.
A 500 terabyte server farm costs next to nothing for even a medium size business.
What an ignorant BS - you obviously don't have a clue about HPC storage pricing otherwise you wouldn't call a $500k starter price tag nothing (and besides the iron you'll need the shared fs, the collaboration environment, the data processing apps etc).

FYI: when I bought a 20TB but 1.5GB/s rated system ~18 months ago I paid over $200k - and I got a bargain.

For Comcast the cost is inconsequential and would be easily dwarfed by the extra revenue they would get from the higher prices targeted ads would garner.
Assuming they can fool people into consent - otherwise they will get SUED and handed over their corporate stupid asses for stealing and selling private information.

Yes, my browsing habits, search info etc are MY information thus it's MY PROPERTY - and no parasite monopolies like Comcast can get away with it, mwhahaha.

Waaaa waaaa waaaa. You just want what you want and don't care to factor in what is right or true. Your perspectives are un-American, and deserve far more ridicule than I'm prepared to pile on them.
