At first, Amazon's data center products were huge money sinks. Startup costs. Missed cost estimates for opex. Extraordinary events. Lack of scale. It looked BAD.

Now AWS is profitable, and Amazon's management knows enough about how to run it to live with thin margins that will cause their competitors lots of pain.

Stuff is getting paid for, and stuff is getting cheaper and there is plenty of room for stuff to get even cheaper.

Stuff is becoming monetarily cheaper, but I think we've also started to see other prices we pay: social price, ecological price, etc...
