Ah yes, the .NET Services message/bandwidth charge can be quite high.
You need to make sure that if you are transferring large quantities of
data you ensure you establish a direct connection (using the Hybrid mode
of the relay bindings), rather than piping stuff through the service
bus.

Subject: RE: Azure Pricing
At a high level, it seems priced towards enterprise applications which I
think is a bit premature. Early adopters will likely be project
builders with small apps, and some of these prices will drive these
types of applications away.
At the enterprise level though, I think these are okay. I'd still
suggest making them cheaper to entice take-up; developers (for the most
part) are still going to have to sell the benefits to their business in
order to get projects off the ground and businesses are loathe to take
risks with pricing models that are new to them (especially since the
GFC).
My personal gripe is the .Net Services messages charge - that seems
pretty steep to me.
Carl.

Subject: Azure Pricing
As a follow up on my previous show of hands, I was wondering how many
people had taken a close look at the pricing model for Windows Azure.
Does anyone have any opinions on the proposed pricing? Does it suit the
way you would charge for your application/service?
One of the questions that come to mind for me is the choice between
Windows Azure table storage and SQL Azure. Has anyone done the pricing
comparison and prepared to provide a commentary on their findings?
During TechEd I spent a bit of time investigating Azure pricing and have
a rough calculation spreadsheet I put together. I'd be happy to share
this with anyone who'd be prepared to provide feedback on it.
