Besides Amazon S3 are there any services that provide scalable, virtually unlimited storage/hosting services? I have a need to archive a growing amount of data and while I could just buy up HDs at this end it will cost a fair bit to transfer the data into the office in Australia (between $0.50 - $5.00 per gig)

At the moment building a custom server with a few 1TB HDs would be far cheaper than S3, but it doesn't scale for future needs (or reduce in monthly cost if I scale down the operation)

Any ideas?
