I think AWS backed themselves into a corner with their extremely high egress charges. I would wager that a pretty considerable amount of their revenue is from egress, so if they have to reduce egress pricing, it will take a pretty big chunk of their revenue.
Of course, I could be completely wrong. I would certainly welcome a correction.
I wonder what fraction of AWS revenue is providers of complementary services that are forced to host at AWS so their AWS-using customers don’t have to pay for egress.
