Google to Give U.S. Government Huge Cloud Discounts – Report
Big news for taxpayers! Google is about to slash prices for its cloud computing services sold to the U.S. government, according to a Financial Times report cited by Reuters. The deal could save millions in federal spending and may be finalized within weeks.
Why this matters:
- Major savings coming: The discounts could match Oracle’s recent 75% price cut for government tech services (per Reuters sources).
- Other tech giants may follow: Microsoft and Amazon Web Services are expected to offer similar deals soon.
- Taxpayer win: Google previously gave a 71% discount on business apps, saving up to $2 billion.
What’s next?
- The deal isn’t final yet, but a senior official told the Financial Times (via Reuters) that Google and others are “totally bought in” to cutting costs for the government.
- If approved, this could mean cheaper, more efficient digital services for federal agencies.
The big question: Will these discounts help modernize government tech—or just spark more competition between Google, Amazon, and Microsoft?
