It will be interesting to see how this plays out considering the huge controversy around project maven & google. I fully expect the HN moral outrage machine to kick into overdrive when this is signed. I would suspect that the major providers would be better off to work with a third party on this, rather than run it themselves. E.g. had Project Maven been done through some random contractor who used GCP just like any other customer does, I dont imagine it would have got the same level of hysteria that it did with Google being the main contractor.
