Interesting, their root cert is trusted by IE as well as Chrome of course. No idea about Firefox, Safari, Opera or any of the other browsers.

I wonder if they are going to start providing PKI services for others.

It will save them money and establishes them as a trusted party. Better competition to AWS.
