The early JenniCam incurred over $15,000 in monthly bandwidth costs

Evidence

And as a camgirl’s traffic rose higher her costs ballooned, as Jennifer Ringley learned not long after she started the JenniCam in 1996. In the online diary she maintained at her Web site, many of her entries expressed concerns about money. According to Ringley, the JenniCam (which, as noted earlier, displayed only still, silent images with a slow refresh rate) racked up bills in excess of US$15,000 per month. — Theresa M.
