Amazon dropping AWS data transfer costs...
Dear Amazon Web Services Customer,
We've often told you that one of our goals is to drive down costs continuously and to pass those savings on to you. And indeed, we've reduced prices on over a dozen occasions over the last four years. We're pleased to announce that we're lowering our pricing again for AWS Data Transfer, effective July 1, 2011. You'll notice below that we will no longer charge a separate fee for AWS Data Transfer in. For AWS Data Transfer out, we've added three new tiers -- at 1 PB, 5 PB and greater than 5 PB -- for our high volume users. Finally, in the US and Europe, we've reduced prices for AWS Data Transfer out at every existing usage tier of usage. Pricing for data transfer between Amazon regions remains unchanged.
AWS Data Transfer Pricing (other than Amazon CloudFront):
Inbound AWS Data Transfer price for all regions (through June 30, 2011)
* $0.100 per GB - data transfer in
Outbound data transfer price for US-Standard, US-West and Europe regions (through June 30, 2011)
* $0.000 - first 1 GB / month data transfer out
* $0.150 per GB - up to 10 TB / month data transfer out
* $0.110 per GB - next 40 TB / month data transfer out
* $0.090 per GB - next 100 TB / month data transfer out
* $0.080 per GB - data transfer out / month over 150 TB
New inbound data transfer price for all regions (effective July 1, 2011)
* $0.000 - all data transfer in
New data transfer price for US-Standard, US-West and Europe regions (effective July 1, 2011)
* $0.000 - first 1 GB / month data transfer out
* $0.120 per GB - up to 10 TB / month data transfer out (10 TB total)
* $0.090 per GB - next 40 TB / month data transfer out (50TB total)
* $0.070 per GB - next 100 TB / month data transfer out (150 TB total)
* $0.050 per GB - next 350 TB / month data transfer out (500 TB total)
* Contact us - next 524 TB / month data transfer out (1PB total)
* Contact us - next 4 PB / month data transfer out (5PB total)
* Contact us - data transfer out / month over 5 PB
The result of this pricing change is that all customers with internet data transfer fees in the US-Standard, US-West and Europe regions will see a reduction in data transfer costs. For example, a customer transferring 10 TB in and 10 TB out of one of these regions in a month will save 52% on internet data transfer with the new pricing. A customer transferring 500 TB in and 500 TB out of one of these regions in a month will save 68% on internet data transfer with the new pricing.
We're also pleased to announce that for our Content Delivery Network, Amazon CloudFront, we're also lowering prices effective July 1, 2011. We've added new pricing tiers in every region. Also, in the US and Europe, we've reduced data transfer pricing at every tier.

* $0.020 per GB - over 5 PB data transfer out / month
