Hundreds of Millions or Billions. You could all buy GigE connections from some of the Tier1 companys. I think Yipes does that.

Not a case of buying some high tolerance Fibre optic cabling a few routers and some highly experienced network engineers - oh and good relashions with the Telco's then lol:(
