Well not necessarily... didn't google use a dutch auction 15 years ago?

Good post - pricing is so very critical (although I do agree with others here that three weeks is such a _very_ short timeframe). It's interesting to think about pricing from a "wh…

Isn't this more of an AWS-specific issue?

The difference lies in their enormous existing lease obligations. Most corporate leases are for 10 years and they have very large payments that must be made, so it's not like they …
