- eli 13y agoWho defines when a price is "far higher" than it could be? And who says they aren't operating at a loss?
- avalaunch 13y agoYou're making an assumption that they aren't now operating at a loss. I don't think they are but I wouldn't assume it. It wouldn't be the first time they've operated at a loss in an attempt to corner the market.
- nl 13y agoIt's quite possible that Amazon and/or Google is prepared to operate their cloud (or some parts of their cloud) at a loss, or at least at zero margins. Look at Amazon's financial statements and you'll find they operate almost all their business on zero margin. The reasons for that differ - Amazon optimises for growth and market domination over profits, while Google doesn't want to see Amazon control the entire cloud market.
