I wonder if this includes or if they can use Direct Connect? [1]

Cloud data transfers are too expensive, personally I assume that it costs more to measure and bill for bandwidth than the usage itself...

They could use direct connect, from each of their data centres, essentially turning AWS into a giant NAS. However this gives up the idea of using AWS compute to provide value added analysis.
