Bank shutdowns are not orderly because banks are important; they're orderly because banks are heavily regulated. If Amazon has an orderly shutdown, it would be because of the selflessness of its owners and managers, which is a pretty fickle thing to bet on.

I certainly think this level of regulation is on the horizon given the number of businesses who use S3 as an authoritative repository. If Amazon needed to shutdown S3 even today I can see the government asserting a heavy hand in it.
