I am not sure where are you looking at costs? Micro instance is $0.025
per Hour, that is 4000 hours which is a bit more than 5 months.

$20 dollars per month seems expensive for you? Depending how they
behave, I would say.

Why not? What is wrong with Amazon?

I think, if look globally, for mesh networks in general, having a
turnkey solution is something which can help bootstrapping the networks.
They can move later on away from Amazon, but starting there I think is
an easy solution.
