Web for rent!

Amazing what you find on the web!
Ever wanted your very own copy of the internet? lt's getting closer thanks to Amazon subsidiary Alexa which can, for a price, give anyone access to a regularly updated copy of much of the information found on the web. All this - 4.5 billion web pages from more than 16 million websites -for (and this is probably in $US currency):
$1 per processor hour
$1 per gigabyte/year of user storage
$1 per 50 gigabytes of data processed
$1 per gigabyte uploaded/downloaded.
