Eh? If you're delivering video at scale there's no way anybody is going to do that for free?

Whereas with AWS they charge you for traffic between AWS regions last time I checked?

They're not asking for free service, they're just noting that a claim of "free egress" might be a lie.

Any CDN that doesnt charge for egress (like cloudflare) will deliver your videos without charges.

Delivering video will instantly promote you to their business plan where you are charged
