Pandora spent $82M on content according to the most recent 10Q, with 4.18B listener hours. That implies a cost of $0.02 cents per listener hour. A million plays is roughly 62500 listener hours, which implies a content cost of $1250.
"$0.02 cents"? Do you mean "$0.02", or "2 cents" or two hundredths of one cent, or something else?
Is this Verizon writing? ( http://verizonmath.blogspot.com/2006/12/verizon-doesnt-know-... )
Sorry about that. It is an easy mistake to make at 2pm in the morning.
Based on their cost of $0.02 cents per listener hour, I wanted to calculate how many hours per day my $36 yearly payment equates to (ignoring their operational costs):
($36 / $0.02) = 1800 hours per year
1800 hours per year = 4.93 hours per day
