Technically...if you're the size of Comcast/AT&T/Verizon...bandwidth is free 
because everything is "on-net" or done through peering arrangement

But it still doesn't address the cost of transport (which is ultimately the 
dilemma we all face)

Perhaps the better way to market is unlimited free all you can eat Internet

Fine print: BYOT (Bring Your Own Transport) -- just figure out a way to get 
from Hole-in-the-ground-surrounded-by-trees, Kansas to Equinix Chicago and you 
can have all the Internet Bandwidth you'd ever need...oh? you need transport, 
well sir, that'll be $900 setup fee, $59.95 / month and $1 / GB =)
