They've got three clusters of servers spread of the United States to distribute the load of WordPress.org, WordPress.com, Akismet.com and Pingomatic.com. You're absolutely correct through, their bandwidth bill must be significant and I'm very grateful that they provide such an excellent set of tools. I'm going to buy a license for Akismet sometime in the near future, just to show support for their service. Al. Liam,

They've managed to kill nearly 10,000 spam comments on my blog which has pretty much no content and hardly anyone linking to it! Can you imagine these guys bandwidth bill??? Go them for hating spam enough to cop the bill for a publically available anti-spam service! :-) What’s equally great about this is you’re just one lil website of how ever million WP blogs and you’ve hit them up for 100,000+ XML calls in under a year…
