Interesting piece from Om Malik’s broadband blog:
But when it came to persistent storage, he pointed out, they started talking about it as soon as they had a beta, putting startups and other firms planning such a service on notice that Amazon would enter that market.
“We wanted to make sure people had a look at our roadmap,” Vogels said. “Our goal is to be very respectful and recognize the value of the ecosystem.”
It seems Amazon recognizes the value of the eco-system being built around their web services – they would rather be the keystone in a large, healthy business eco-system, than alone control a small eco-system that is withering away. Good news for startups.
