As of April 1st, the Data Transfer Out pricing tier for individual regions will be based on total Data Transfer Out usage within that region for Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, Amazon Simple DB, Amazon RDS, Amazon SQS and Amazon VPC.

The benefit for users will be the ability to reach higher usage tiers and lower pricing in a quicker manner. Previous usage tiers were calculated individually based on data transfer related to that service, and it will now be aggregated. AWS will also offer a complimentary tier which provides your first GB of outbound transfer in each region each month at no charge.
