as we know bandwidth is extremely expensive

No. You very obviously don't know how bandwidth is handled for large providers. They don't pay per gb, and instead have peering agreements with other networks. Google generally doesn't have to pay these other networks, as Google has the web applications that the other networks' customers expect to be able to use.

Sorry I meant storage, which was apparent by my following sentence "and Google hosts an unbelievable amount of data"

Peering agreements are in no way free no matter what company you work for, what the hell are you on about?
