they should add the option to add a surcharge. This way people can make some money off their data.

You can add a surcharge using Amazon DevPay. I'll write a blog post about this in the next couple of days!

is this whole thing a B2B proposition (someone hosts data, someone else pays for the delivery of the part of this data they need - which is great, don't get me wrong) or could this also become a "consumer" B2C thing? (i.e. I sell digital crap, and charge users via Amazon).
