AWS egress prices have been the same for a decade despite massive networking advancements.

In two decades, since 2006, they've only come down by about 50%.

That's not exactly true, they expanded the free tier from 1 to 100GB/mo (1TB/mo out of CloudFront) and dropped egress from ~20c/GB to ~9c/GB. This was due to pressure from the Bandwidth Alliance formed by all the other Clouds and spearheaded by Cloudflare.

~20c/GB to ~9c/GB was the 2006-2026 halving I mentioned. Two decades to drop by half.

Accounting for inflation that's more like dropped by 75%. As AWS position as market leader erodes we'll likely see further drops.

And it costs them nothing, because they have free peering agreements with every network.
