Empowering customers with the Bandwidth Alliance

The article discusses high egress fees in the cloud industry that can lock customers into one provider and prevent them from choosing best-of-breed services or negotiating prices. To combat this, Cloudflare launched the Bandwidth Alliance with over fifteen partners who have agreed to reduce egress fees for data transfer. This alliance leverages Cloudflare's extensive network of more than 206 data centers globally and its interconnections with thousands of networks worldwide. The Bandwidth Alliance has provided significant benefits to customers in terms of cost savings and choice across their computing, storage, and other service needs.
