It would cost you $1.50 to upload a 10GB file and $1.50 to store it your first month for a grand total of $3.00. Next month the total cost would be $1.50 since you don't have the transfer cost.
S3 does eventually get pricey for very large datasets but when you're just getting started it's certainly economical enough. I pay < $1 monthly for what I'm storing. ~ 5GB

@Christian: How much does the Amazon S3 service cost you? I just took
a look at their calculator and all of the examples shows $64 a month
upwards for the S3 service

@Johnny: I have no experience in the legalities of such a site, but
can see where it's potential controversy lies. I would be happy with
some common-sense terms and conditions that state the views within
user contributed content are those of the contributor, not the site
owner.
Also make sure there is a transparent mechanism for people to complain
about reviews and always an open invite for the person/company being
reviewed to respond. You have to have a brand that is whiter than
white/totally impartial who will route out any malicious reviewers,
otherwise you risk being perceived as a shock jock site which will
damage your creditability.
The problem I have with sites of this nature is where do they make
their revenue from, I would imagine in this case it's advertising,
probably local 'restaurant in my town' type stuff? If you're looking
to make money this way then ultimately you're hosting potentially
damaging reviews about your clients, which can smack slightly of
biting the hand that feeds you.
Anyway, I wish you luck with your site and hope it's different to the
hundreds of other review your suppliers type sites that already
exist. At least Yelp looks to take a positive stint on things, maybe
I've read too many such sites when in a negative mood or have crap
suppliers so never read good reviews about them.
