CloudFlare ( https://www.cloudflare.com/ ) are going to be getting a lot of new customers very soon I suspect.
Not least because they intend to give SSL to everyone (even the free tier) very soon, and have acquired enough IPv4 addresses to make doing so possible. Additionally their price for custom SSL certificates is a fraction of the price of CloudFront.
It is strange, watching a company like Amazon make a pricing decision like this, knowing how it will then shift things.
In our startup ( http://microco.sm ), we are implementing S3 for storage, and then to use multiple reverse proxies that make our static files surface (with our sites) through CloudFlare. The best of both worlds.

Why would people switch to CloudFlare because Amazon added a feature Amazon never offered?
