If you host large, publicly available data in a cloud blob service, but you don't have a budget for it, one option is to use the "Requester Pays" feature that Amazon and Google provide. This makes the data available to anyone to download, but they need to pay the download cost themselves.<p>This is at the tradeoff of making your data significantly more irritating to access, as it's no longer just plugging in a URL into a program, plus everyone who wants your dataset needs to set up a billing account with Amazon or Google.
