That's actually right, S3 costing at $39k/month seems completely crazy.

No wonder 37signals decided to switch to their self-hosted storage solution[1].

As they just raised 100 million, I wonder if putting (a lot of) effort in replicating S3's functions to save part of 40K/month is worth the trouble. And setting that up won't be free either. (their 100 million can pay for the current storage for 200 years...)
