gwillenApparently WikiLeaks has suspended operations due to lack of funds.
If you like them, and you have money, give them some money. I am.
ETA: It's also worth noting that they can't use low-bid hosting -- they get constant takedown notices and lawsuit threats, so they have to use so-called "bulletproof" hosting, most often used by spammers, so they don't get shut down every time someone threatens their webhost with a lawsuit. This adds a substantial multiplier to their hosting cost.

Date: 2010-02-02 09:59 pm (UTC)The link above dates from 2002.
This link: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/networkcables/f/t1_t3_lines.htm is undated, and puts the price of a T3 at 3000$/month.
This link (from an ad): http://www.usaccess-llc.com/t3.html says the price of a T3 is "from $1416/month".
But it's not implausible that wikileaks might have more than one T3. I have no sense for how much bandwidth they use.
