Re: AUD Depreciation
Price of data in AUS is still a lot more than USA regardless of the depreciation of the AUD. Low data hosting will probably gravitate back to AUS.

Server purchase costs are going up regardless if the server comes from Asia. AUD has depreciated against all currencies not just USD. I would imagine that the server price is pegged to the USD anyway instead of say the Indonesia ringet .

Checking Forex now, might be able to make a quick buck before they decide to peg it to the USD
