Part of your answer might include unnecessary transatlantic traffic as 
in: "If every printjob has to pass the US server we need at least 1G to 
get a reasonable response. If only things like the e-mail has to cross 
the ocean twice we might do with 50. If we would restrict all 
transatlantic traffic to what is really necessary, 10 to 25 might 
suffice for the next few years. But remember that traffic also follows 
something like  Moore's law. "
