But per this announcement Google's new "Coldline" storage hits the AWS Glacier 0.7 cents/GB/month price point, and without Glacier's mindboggling operational and billing complexity, long delays on retrievals, and I think the particularly huge bills if you need a lot of that data all at once, i.e. for restoring a backup. (Can't remember the Glacier numbers for the latter (too complicated for me to remember), but Google makes Coldline retrieval simple, 5 cents/GB.) In fact, it's implied they believe Coldline is the biggest new thing they're doing, for it's the first thing in the announcement they discuss in detail. It's certainly got me interested.
