They're a bit different from AWS. First, they have less competition. Like, competition exists, but they really dominate the market and are the only ones onboarding serious traffic for free loss leader accounts. Second, for all their "we're neutral" talk, they regulate a lot of online traffic in a way that AWS never did. AWS cloudfront shield will not cut you off from majority of the popular internet without recourse just because you accidentally tripped some rule.

So yeah, not being able to handle more than x% of the internet traffic (unless they're running a real dumb pipe with only IP routing logic) sounds great. I'd welcome anther Bell systems breakup.
