I still maintain bandwidth costs are the most poorly understood in the current CTO/CIO/Dev generation.
The "cloud native" generation has (of course) never purchased bandwidth (as in circuits, cross connects, etc) and the result is "Well, AWS charges $0.09/GB so that's what it costs".
I wouldn't be surprised if AWS is capitalizing on this blind spot and offering many services as loss-leaders knowing their 100x markup (or whatever) on bandwidth more than makes up for it.
