The problem with this model is that the "organization" has a certain limited
amount of space, let's say 100 GB for example. Now, let's say two people join.
Do you give them each 50 GB? Then no one else can sign on. Or do you give them
10 GB to use, and then allow eight more people to sign on? Or do you give them
unlimited use, at which point everything will soon be gone?
The model you give is not economically sound with respect to elasticity. The
more people sign up, the less each pays, but the less space each person can get
if you want to utilize all the space. Alternatively, you could allot a limited
amount of space to each member, but then you would be stuck with a lot of unused
storage space.
If the price is re-evaluated each month, then does that mean that people can
only join at specific dates?
Your business model works for a server that costs X amount of dollars and
contains an infinite amount of space. That means that there is no exact prices
for each "byte" in your perfect machine. But in the case of the real world,
each "byte" does have a fixed price.
This leads to the conclusion that the only way to go about this in a manner that
can be flexible is to just have people pay for a specific amount of space. That
way, things are much more stable.
Or am I missing something?
