Scale Matters
Approximately 1.2 MB video size for launch video being shown today.   17 MB total stored on the website (multiple videos). 3.5M metered requests to S3 on Jan 04 w/ over 750 GBs transferred. To do equivalent, would have to buy more bandwidth from ISP, buy new video servers, install and configure servers, and maintain.  We estimate that over half a million videos were served that day.
