Delivery hours against the included allowance

401,000 hrs of 600,000 included in the $18,000 license

Within allowance — no overage charge

Delivery hours included — overage $0.15/hr600,000 / yr
Live streaming hours included — overage $4.00/hr300 / yr
Content storage included — overage $0.30/hr/month600 hrs

Only delivery hours are modelled here. A full Worlds broadcast schedule sits comfortably inside the 300 live-hour and 600-hour storage allowances, so neither produces a charge.
