One thing I find notable about S3 today is that, while it used to drop in price reasonably often, there hasn't been a price drop in a full decade:
```
  2006-03-14  $0.150&#x2F;GB-month
  2010-11-01  $0.140&#x2F;GB-month
  2012-02-01  $0.125&#x2F;GB-month
  2012-12-01  $0.095&#x2F;GB-month
  2014-02-01  $0.085&#x2F;GB-month
  2014-04-01  $0.030&#x2F;GB-month
  2016-12-01  $0.023&#x2F;GB-month
```
Today it's still $0.023/GB-month.

  I guess inflation is the price reduction we get. 23 cents in 2016 is 32 cents in 2026

    And that's by official inflation numbers. If you go by how much prices of food and rent increased i think you get a number more like 50 or 60 cents
