I worked at a University in Canada, and we had a no USA hosted services policy from day one of that Patriot Act. Not everyone knew about it or followed it but if an IT department was involved in development we had to enforce it. It was really frustrating for me a lot of times because I couldn't design new useful solutions or suggest products like SurveyMonkey for example that would save everyone huge amounts of time. This is totally the kind of thing that is going to happen to a lot of businesses now that less technical people that are higher up are aware of these issues. They are going to get a little fearful and mandate certain services are a no go.
