The reason for the increased price isn't bandwidth (though I suppose it is in a sense). The reason for the increased price is that for the WAV files they burn them onto a CD and mail them to you. I remember hearing something about them offering WAV downloads, but I don't know if that has gone into effect yet.
Part of the reason for the higher prices when compared to iTunes or most of the other places, is that you are getting speciality items. When the price of tracks on Beatport is compared to the cost of going into a speciality DJ shop to get the vinyl or the CD of a recently released track, it's comperable in price.
