> In fact, many customers will be able to adapt their portfolios and usage to decrease costs. Sounds like a sneaky way to win some quick revenue because they know a huge number of customers are not going to be able to go back and re-engineer their storage use in time, so will end up out-of-pocket even while Google gets to pretend they are saving everyone money.
