Yet Another Online Storage Pricing Model (and associated startup)

[To Swapzies:] Are you kidding me? You want to charge $20 to transfer one measly gigabyte of data? We're talking thirty cents worth of hard disk storage space here, or six cents on a DVD. That's quite an imbalance.

These guys are offering a "service" which charges $94 to broker a single peer-to-peer transfer of one DVD-R, or thirty cents worth of optical media.

Give me a break.
