The one thing that I have always struggled with during my travels are the data plans of the cell phone companies. One wireless company for example has an international plan that will charge you $25 per month for 50MB after which they will charge you $20 per MB. Driving Storage Costs Down for AWS Customers.

Consistently we have lowered compute, storage and bandwidth prices based on such cost savings. Ideally these applications will periodically save their state into, for example, EBS or Amazon S3 and upon restart read the last saved state and continue their work.

New AWS feature: Run your website from Amazon S3. Since a few days ago this weblog serves 100% of its content directly out of the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) without the need for a web server to be involved. This enables Amazon S3 to know what document to serve if one isnt explicitly requested: for example [link].
