I have to say that I am really curious as to why you would want to base your business viability on 'assumptions' regarding the average amount of users unique data.
I think one missed point when doing this generalization is also the target audience in early adopters for an unlimited service.
As we at SpiderOak quickly found it there are massive differences between 'common users' and the early adopters of a technically proficient service.
I am worried that Bitcasa will be in for a pretty rude awakening in that a large percentage of their early paying users will be JUST the people that store a TON of unique data (Raw files, encrypted data etc), skyrocketing their storage costs in a vulnerable phase of their development.
