>Interestingly, AWS and Google weren't really B2B plays initially either

AWS was nothing if not a "B2B play" from the beginning. Having developed their own expertise with data centers and distributed computing, Amazon proceeded to sell that to other businesses.

What I was saying (poorly) is that they were not a sale to enterprise IT business.

AWS is a company that Amazon bought, which was already providing the S3 service. Unlike what most people think, Amazon did not take the stuff they were doing internally and spin that out as a separate service.

In fact, as far as AWS is concerned, Amazon is just another big customer — and not even the biggest.
