Absolute, total bullshit. You can take it to 50, 100, 200 gigabit and you're still wrong. One could at best wash on the wholesale costs of the raw bandwidth (which is only a portion of the expense to delivering network) but would absolutely lose money in scale even with server rental or colocation. In any scale, there must be margin on every component or the model isn't viable.
