* You might have a choice of carriers or ISPs, but many don't.
* Hmm, what kind of software do you write that pays your bills?
* And your setup doesn't require any external infrastructure to be kept up to date?

B2B software that allows anyone to run their workloads with most any cloud provider, and most any on-prem "cloud". The entire point of this software is to abstract out the underlying infrastructure so that businesses can walk away from a particular vendor if that vendor gets too stroppy. > ...your setup doesn't require any external infrastructure... It's Gentoo Linux, so it runs largely on donated infra (and infra paid for with donations). But -unlike Windows or OS X users- if I get sick of what the Gentoo steering committee are doing, I can go to another distro (or just fucking roll my own should things get truly dire). That's the point of my comment.
