Put a bunch of numbers on a dartboard, from $50 to $250. Throw a dart. Whatever it hits...thats it. Trying to determine a ticket price for a service that may or may not exist 15 years from now is, as said in the article, "spitballing".

What will happen to gas and airline prices between now and then? Will elec cars be more prevalent? What cost multiplier will be applied to actually building the thing?
More importantly...will it actually get built? What rare riparian environment will be discovered in the proposed path, that will cause it to be tied up in enviro court for years? Or in NIMBY court?

(in part)"In 2008, Lime Wire was found on a LabMD workstation at Internet Protocol address 64.190.82.42 in Atlanta, Georgia. Lime Wire was installed by a LabMD employee, without authorization and in violation of company policy."

"On May 13, 2008, Tiversa contacted Lab MD, advised that Tiversa had downloaded LabMD's file, but refused to provide any additional information unless LabMD paid Tiversa for "remediation." Over the next two months, Tiversa sent six more sales-pitch emails to LabM0. LabMD, however, declined Tiversa's shakedown."

I came to say the same thing. How awesome would it be to be at the beach, realize you forgot a towel, and have one drop in within a half hour...

If you are at some remote beach and you forget your towel...you are outside of the delivery zone. And you are a dumbass, and the ghost of Douglas Adams will smite you.
