You're going in the right direction here but some of your assumptions or rationale are inaccurate or incorrect.

I assume you manage your own servers. In my case, one of my companies specializes in high traffic and fault tolerance cluster hosting, so the admin costs are zero.
I have stripped completely the admin costs. But since you run a hosting company you already should know how low are nowadays hardware prices when renting or paying it during 24 months. You already know the bw prices too when buying volume.
Since you don't operate in Europe you have no way to know that OVH (France) or Telefonica (Spain) require 4 Gbit of constant (non peak) traffic to open a direct peering with a datacenter.
