An interesting move, though understandable. Economics usually wins, but we saw a problem with outsourcing content distribution just today. Wikileaks had their site taken off Amazon.com’s hosting servers and was temporarily down, all because Amazon didn’t support their message.
Seems this could happen here, too, if any conflict of interest ever occurred, though it’s much less likely.
