I think we're already there, and it isn't much of a dystopia. There are only 3 big cloud providers, and many major companies rely on them for everything.
But their business is built on providing this service. At what point would Amazon, Google or Microsoft say "we don't want that $xB in revenue, just turn it off. NOW!
Is that what you're suggesting is the future?
- walshemj 8y agoAt that point government would step in and nationalise that part of the company :-) More seriously I can see cloud going the way of telecoms in that there would be a provider of last resort if a telco goes bust another operator takes over to provide service.
- vkou 8y agoThe more likely risk is not them turning it off, but increasing prices. Of course, it's a competitive market, so the other two providers would eat their lunch.
