welcome to the hotel california...

Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door

I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

"Relax, " said the night man,

"We are programmed to receive.

You can check-out any time you like,

But you can never leave! "

And this is why I don’t think AWS will lower egress fees in response to R2. AWS may be more interested in discouraging people from using egress than in capturing the revenue from egress. I predict that, at most, we’ll see a narrowly tailored reduction in egress fees that is designed to be entirely useless for communication between server applications.
