Amazon Web Services is the only business I can think of that regularly e-mails me to tell me they’ve lowered their prices. Kudos.

Subject: AWS Lowers Outbound Data Transfer Pricing
To: “doughamlin@gmail.com” <doughamlin@gmail.com> Dear AWS Customer,
As you know, we are constantly working to drive our costs down and become more operationally efficient. We then pass on those cost savings to our customers in the form of lower prices. Today, we are pleased to announce that we are lowering AWS pricing for outbound data transfer by $0.02 across all of our services, in all usage tiers, and in all Regions. These changes are effective February 1, 2010.
The new outbound data transfer pricing will be:
- First 10 TB per Month: $0.15 per GB
- Next 40 TB per Month: $0.11 per GB
- Next 100 TB per Month: $0.09 per GB
- Over 150 TB per Month: $0.08 per GB
Amazon CloudFront, the easy-to-use content delivery service, continues to have its own outbound data transfer pricing schedule in order to offer the lowest possible rates for each edge location. Effective February 1, Amazon CloudFront will also reduce its outbound data transfer prices by $0.02 per GB across all edge locations and for each usage tier.
Please see the pricing section for any of the AWS infrastructure services on the AWS website for more information. Thank you, as always, for your support.
Sincerely,
The Amazon Web Services Team
