I read through a couple of these responses to the CMA by MS, Google and AWS and their smaller competitors
as expected the hyperscalers refuse to acknowledge that the free ingress and expensive egress is a lock-in mechanism, and their smaller competitors complain bitterly about this
the hyperscalers say they have to charge egress fees to pay for the costs in building their networks, but for some reason doesn't apply to ingress (which they're silent on)
if they want to play this game then the CMA should simply make them charge the same for ingress and egress
that way they can "fund their network costs" without issue, and if they want to make them both free then that's their decision
