How much tax ...
will Amazon pay on that $10b ?
The US National Security Agency (NSA) has re-awarded a once-secret $10 billion cloud computing services contract to AWS following protests from Microsoft. The contract, codenamed "Wild and Stormy," is the successor of the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) IT contract, awarded to Microsoft in 2019, and later killed …
The shenanigans of the NSA are becoming more widely known. Whoever wins this contract will see American customers move to their competitors.
Excuse me one moment.
Yeah, it’s me again Nakasone. Why don’t you have your script kiddies looking up Putin’s skirt instead of crawling all over Americans’ private data?!?
Anyway, AWS looks to be losing business soon if nothing changes.
Amazon announced that following analytics of customer behaviour they will be launching their own security service "National Security Amazon", or NSA for short, which will undercut the incumbent supplier. Jeff Bezos was quoted as saying "well, it worked for USB cables and ibuprofen, so we figured how hard could it be?"
