can it be true?

I don't know $30m doesn't look that extraordinary now compared to the wikimedia foundation.

But why so expensive? Surely wikileaks has less visits and hence less server pressure than the "mighty" wikipedia?

It does, wiki foundation appear to operate there own systems in there own buildings paying there own staff, wiki leaks are leasing servers and if you google hosting services I'd bet you wont find any services offering unlimited bandwidth in the five figure mark never mind the tens of millions..............30 million may well buy you an isp.

look: http://www.easyspace.com dedicated server with unlimited bandwidth £25 per month, massive £300 per year, they should pay me to sort there servers out Id save them £29.999.700.
