They have no distribution cost online, so I hope they can make a buck on Advertising. Well, bandwidth and hardware are costs. Big ones if you get the kind of traffic the big papers must get. If the papers are hosting with the major carriers like UUNET/Worldcom or AT&T, I'd expect we're talking tens of thousands of dollars per month. UUNET was selling 45Mbs DS3 bandwidth and cabinet real estate in the Houston DC for over $10,000 a month. I bet the NYTimes sucks up many times that. Then you have to pay for the servers (leased, of course), the geeks to keep them running, and the webdev monkeys to make it all purty to look at. Not chump change, I'm sure. Derek
