Let's say you sell a data product that generates around 1TB per day, which is downloaded by every customer once. On AWS/GCP, that's roughly $80/day/customer in egress costs, which would make the minimum pricing of the data product $30K/year to break even SOLELY egress, assuming each customer only does the download once.

It's basically not possible to offer something like this on AWS or GCP, you have to run your own server somewhere with flat bandwidth pricing. If I were still in the data business, I'd absolutely be moving everything to R2.
