Every businessman would be operating a for-profit business where his goal is to maximize profit given his available bandwidth and storage capacity. To do this he would speculatively store data he expects shoppers walking by his store would want. If he has low bandwidth and large storage capacity then he will store a large amount high-priced, infrequently sought after data. If he has high bandwidth and low storage capacity then he will store a small amount of low-priced, frequently sought after data. The data that is most profitable for the business man to store will depend upon where is shop is located. Every store can automatically manage their inventory and pricing so that they gain the most profit by reselling all of their available bandwidth and storage at the highest price the market will bare.
