S3 Is the Future, S3 Is the Past
Simon Willison commented on the Hacker News discussion titled "S3 Is the Future, S3 Is the Past," focusing on S3 pricing history. He wrote that a notable aspect of S3 today is that while the service used to drop in price reasonably often, there has not been a price drop in a full decade.
Willison listed the price reductions he was tracking: $0.150/GB-month on 2006-03-14, $0.140/GB-month on 2010-11-01, $0.125/GB-month on 2012-02-01, $0.095/GB-month on 2012-12-01, $0.085/GB-month on 2014-02-01, $0.030/GB-month on 2014-04-01, and $0.023/GB-month on 2016-12-01.
