Ask HN: How to start a CDN company? Egress is expensive
Every cloud offers cheap compute, but expensive egress. And it becomes more expensive in some regions.
Here are some stats for Asia Pacific region:
1. AWS: 0.12 USD per GB
2. Azure: 0.11 USD per GB
3. Google Cloud: 0.11 USD per GB
4. Oracle: 0.025 USD per GB (cheapest one among the large companies)
5. IBM Cloud: Could not figure out.
Linode (Akamai) offers 0.005 USD per GB.
With these prices in place, how do CDN companies work? Where can I get cheap bandwidth?

- jgrahamc 3y agoIf you get a lot of users you can negotiate better pricing for bandwith and you can often peer (for free) with regional ISPs.
