Most Excellent news! Starting July 1st 2011, Azure inbound traffic to our customers is Free!
Quoting the Windows Azure Blog Post: “…For billing periods that begin on or after July 1, 2011, all inbound data transfers for both peak and off-peak times will be free.”
For detailed information on the pricing go to: https://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/offers/popup/popup.aspx?lang=en&locale=en-us&offer=MS-AZR-0003P (look at the Data Transfer section at the bottom of the page).
Enjoy!

Since SQL Azure is a subset of Windows Azure Platform, do we assume that using bcp, SSMAs, SSIS to migrate on-premise database to the cloud is ALSO FREE?Anonymous
