AWS Eliminates Data Transfer Fees Globally

Amazon's AWS has announced the removal of data transfer fees for customers switching to other cloud providers, aligning with regulatory pressures and competition.

Amazon's AWS will no longer charge customers for transferring their data to other cloud service providers globally.
The move comes in response to regulatory scrutiny over such fees stifling competition and the European Union's Data Act.
British media regulator Ofcom has requested an investigation into the dominance of Amazon, Google, and Microsoft in the UK's cloud market.
Google Cloud had previously removed its own data transfer fees, citing the need for fair competition.
The decision by AWS is expected to prompt Microsoft to follow suit, amidst ongoing antitrust probes into cloud lock-in practices.
