> And presumably they've run models that say that their bulk savings from interconnect make this far from just a loss leader. It's basically real world chaos monkeys that are stress testing their systems. Combined with signal intelligence, those chaos monkeys are actively improving their systems. Then, as a final bonus, absorbing the DDoS attacks aimed at those chaos monkeys (and their paid tier) provides a lot of globally diverse and distributed inbound traffic to them, favorably offsetting the outbound traffic they're serving from from their network. Improving their position during interconnect negotiations. There are quite natural synergies that emerge as a product of their particular choices in structuring their business. Which is far more rare of a thing than you'd expect.
