It's very easy to solve this problem. Just let people set a cap on the things with usage billing:

"I want to cap the amount of data I store to 50GB and the amount of traffic I serve to 1000GB"

Of course there is an obvious problem with this, the pricing structure would become transparent and you don't want that as a cloud provider. You want your customer to just pay his bills and not even know why it costs this much.

How is the pricing structure not currently transparent? What number are you missing exactly?
