But they also spend a bundle with AWS... Amazon can reach the same pricing with the telcos, but will have lower infrastructure costs. Twilio would honestly be a good acquisition for AWS, but maybe Bezos feels like doing it himself.
I think it's a market where winning is about customer acquisition and retention, not necessary cost-control, though I'll grant that could become more important over time.
