I don’t know what I should expect to see: the forever-free announcement said
“…This means that for several months, for the overall network, we anticipate that the total amount of data should remain relatively constant and SNO payouts should stay fairly stable…”
…but the test-data announcement said:
“…In order to secure resources and to scale test, we have decided to begin to upload additional data to the SLC satellite essentially “reserving capacity” for our customer growth a few months before we anticipate it will arrive…”
The test-data info is more recent… so I think we should expect overall use to go up. And historically test data was paid for… and I think the capacity-reservation data will be… but performance-related test data will be unpaid?
So… I guess I’m expecting to see large amounts of trash to be taken out… but overall SLC should begin to shovel enough new testing data into the network to slowly cause it to still grow, and for SNOs most of that test data will be paid for.
