The cost is as a utility, to the applications. Do you pay for the servers that are used to host your favorite ecommerce site? Not directly, but you do through your use of that site. For the consumer, the same is true for the Data Universe.
For businesses and applications using the Data Universe, pricing is simply based on usage.

This only works for applications which support the Data Universe. You can switch to use Applications which do, or contact your favorite application and ask them to use the Data Universe. The benefits are they get access to a large pool of Shared Intelligence at the same time!
