Doesn't really matter what it may have once been considering we're talking about using it to store and distribute large binaries of today. And yeah, six figures doesn't sound that far off the target when you consider the storage in petabytes and, more importantly, the bandwidth. Multiply that with redundancy and multiple locations in general and you'll easily hit six figures.
