TGP is a function of the economy of our industry. Since the dot bomb blew up bandwidth has been cheap with lots of vacancies in some very nice data centers that were built up during the boom. Meanwhile it's tough to get traffic. So what's the easiest way to do it? Give shit away for free.
Current adult internet economy is such that if you're smart and work TGP you can make enough margin even on shitty conversion rates to make bank.
TGP2 and similar efforts will never replace TGP under current conditions. Try it with server rates at 1997 levels....it wouldn't work. However, I only see bandwidth rates falling further.
