Google scraps some cloud data transfer fees in EU and UK

LONDON (Reuters) -Google said on Wednesday it had scrapped data transfer fees for organisations processing workloads "in parallel" across two or more cloud platforms in the European Union and Britain ahead of the EU Data Act coming into effect on Friday. Regulators in the EU and Britain have been trying to increase competition in the fast-growing cloud market, which is dominated by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and to a lesser extent Google Cloud.
