I wouldn't say that's entirely accurate... All services cost money, the key is who pays that money.
Now I can't testify to the accuracy of it, but there was a report in 2009 that said publishers had to pay up to ~16 cents per Gigabyte of their content that was downloaded on PSN, so obviously it has cost, difference is who pays that cost.

The exact same person pays the cost, so this is blatantly wrong. In both cases, the cost is paid by the customer.

Blatantly wrong? It's not like any publisher has asked me to pay them if I download their demo on PSN.
Calling something blatantly wrong does not make it so, so try to provide a actual argument for your claim or stop talking nonsense.

Customers pay for something whether they realize it or not. If a company does not pass on its costs to the customers, then the company loses money and eventually goes out of business.
A lot of people have an incredibly difficult time understanding this and seem to think that companies bear certain costs, but they don't. The cost of a product is a result of what the company determines it needs to cover its own costs (in this case the downloading fees) as well as a premium so the company can make a profit.
