| My prediction of the situation:
They have a lot of unused capacity which carries a substantial maintenance cost, likely both data center space and unused setup servers. Island uptake has dropped sharply (In response to US economy issues), LL extrapolate this data into the future and see themselves carrying an unacceptably high overhead and drop the prices somewhere closer to cost (Each of these servers is maybe $3000) to dump capacity.
Prices are likely to increase again when they feel secure in the situation. |
