Nirvonix disappearance - what we need is middle men. We need 'Cloud Brokers'. They would marshall Cloud capacity. They would also drive competition between proprietary suppliers. :doh:

There was an interesting talk about this problem (and the broader subject of data retention) at Webstock'13, the video is available here: http://vimeo.com/68526275[^] Long story short there are already people dedicated to saving user data. P.S.: Don't let the presenter's outfit scare you :)
