Google may expose its new services called BigTable this week. BigTable is basically based on the Google File System (GFS) and intended for sharing across thousands of product servers, which collectively store petabytes of data. Services that depend on it comprise Google Search, Google Earth and Maps, Google Finance, Google Print, Orkut, YouTube, and Blogger.

Public stated that they expect BigTable to be straight competition for Amazon SimpleDB – and we need to agree. The only thing that comes under consideration is about the pricing strategy. What is your opinion? Would Google make BigTable for free, or would it be competitively priced with the Amazon equivalent?
