> I'm up for AWS bashing more often than not, but I don't get what this post is proposing. The discussion topic is about anticompetitive practices. AWS charges a premium on intra-region traffic, when other cloud providers do not. The thesis is that these arbitrary charges are designed to force users to consume their managed services which further leads to vendor lock-in. Can these arbitrary intra-region traffic charges be interpreted as anticompetitive practices? I believe there's a good case to be made. Don't you agree?
