Re: Who's responsible for reporting this?
There are other AWS sites around the world that are only used by AWS but weren't built by AWS and have AWS as a tenant/sole tenant.
My assumption is that AWS hasn't built DC's in Australia so is only a tenant - I realise this is difficult to get information on unless someone knows (i.e. knows the site and knows it is actually run by company X).
My point is that if you setup a company one way (AWS has become a tenant of many/all of these facilities to allow rapid deployment as building their own DC's takes 5+ years for them to acquire land and appropriate consents/permits etc), if a government creates legislation that asks for information to be presented for what you are responsible (Global Switch and Fujitsu are in the list so I would assume at least some of Amazon's power usage is covered), they shouldn't really complain when it turns out their legislation doesn't fit the real world very well.
