You can't compare on bandwidth only !!What costs Google is storage, according to the latest news, Google has more than 500 servers ...
In comparison, Facebook is "barely" at 50 - 60 if the server / member ratio is constant:

Don't agree, do you have any web projects under your belt to decide this?
Advertising self-financing can work ... Free paper newspapers self-financed by 20-minute advertising style (website included, the 20-minute one often includes interesting articles), does that ring a bell?
