I think you're underestimating economies of scale, and today's willingness of large corporations to provide cutting-edge services at a loss.

I don't think I am. I don't think economies of scale on hardware will drive costs below free, and while subscription providers might be willing to offer services below the cost of the hardware that runs them, I don't think they'll offer services below the cost of the electricity that runs them.
And while data centers might sign favorable contracts, I don't think they are getting electricity that far below retail.
