Why, exactly? Cloud providers don't pay per GB themselves, since they make their own peering agreements, and the only reason we users end up paying $/GB in transfer is because people end up paying for that premium when companies offer it.

It doesn't have to be like that, and it seems like this provider agrees with the idea of not upselling $/GB transfer costs, since they themselves don't pay it like that either.

I'm curious to see how it goes, as others mentioned, they're not the first (nor will be the last) to offer this no-nonsense pricing scheme.
