Amazon Lowers CDN CloudFront Pricing Down To $0.05 Per GB For Volume

Amazon announced this morning that come February 1st, it will lower pricing for their content delivery network service, CloudFront, for large customers doing more than 1,000TB a month in volume. Amazon has already posted the new rates on their website.
This is an expected move from Amazon as their pricing was a little high for really large volume deals and with CloudFront now up and running for a few months, Amazon says, "As we continue to reduce our costs, we're able to pass the savings on to our customers."
The new pricing still does not make Amazon a threat to any of the large scale CDNs, but it only increases pressure on the smaller CDNs for customers who need very commoditized download services.
Great news amazon pushing the benchmark that little bit higher, you have to be a little bit worried when a major player like amazon dips it's toe in the CDN market,
What happens when they go for a swim.
