"could it be the previous price was really low?" We can answer this by comparing prices to other providers. For example: Amazon (a standardised but not a cheap provider) used to charge $0.15/GB bandwidth out but now charges $0.12/GB (and does not charge for bandwidth in): http://goo.gl/n1ZxZ http://goo.gl/n1ZxZ And this is tier one; it goes down to $0.05/GB or less for bulk bandwidth. Appengine used to charge $0.12/GB out, but under the new pricing will charge $0.15/GB out (and still charges $0.10/GB in): http://goo.gl/QgA3n http://goo.gl/QgA3n Does this suggest that Google was running a charity, that it is merely covering it's costs, and that Google's world-renowned infrastructure costs more than Amazon's?
