Reply to comment by QwertzOne in U.S. tech giants face pressure from Europe’s telcos to pay for building the internet by thinkB4WeSpeak
Because who else is going to do it. Amazon has a scary amount of the world’s information and can charge an insanely high amount to Protect it.

I actually wonder, what's the actual cost for Amazon to use European network infrastructure, how does it work currently. Let's say that Amazon bills $0.1/GB for data transfer from VM to internet, how much goes to telecoms, if they complain about additional pressure on network infrastructure? I would actually want to see some concrete data, because both Amazon and telecoms are greedy, but to what degree?

Amazon and others have to pay for the infrastructure or build it partially thus there are costs related to data transfer.
Paying by volume is fair, price is the question. Avoiding monopoly is the safest answer. Same goes for search, social media, and any other sector.
