The bandwidth charges are hefty if you're moving a lot of bits, but I wouldn't use anything other than S3 or GCS probably -- the other guys just don't have a track record of reliability yet. But, you can build a poor-man's CDN -- varnish caches on DO/Linode/whatever where you get multiple terabytes of bandwidth for a small VM. So, you use the best object storage provider, but move most of the bits cheaply using Varnish + Route53 geo-dns.

    Building is arguably the easy part. Managing and supporting is a different story.

      Exactly - TCO is the core problem.
