Telecommunications companies started putting infrastructure under ground in the 1900's and that practice while expensive up front was more common after WWII for safety reasons. Amazon may wish to consider putting data-centers under ground not only for safety but also long term cost reduction in the middle east as it is cooler under ground.

What is the cost to protect some? To protect all? Much more than $20k-$50 per drone.

    That's a business cost for Amazon, isn't it? Why should the rest of us pay to protect one of the richest companies in the world?

      When you do business in a country and pay taxes (lol), you expect to be defended by said country in return, no?

        Lolololo okay if they're gonna stick a CWIS on the Amazon datacenter then we all get on mounted on our rooves too cause I certainly pay my taxes.

        There's also the fact that Amazon et al tax haven it up.

        Except if you live in Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis, yes, I agree with you.
