I've said this before, but I'll repeat it here. There is zero chance that anybody will believe what the US government / US companies will say from now on. Their credibility has been fatally damaged, for years to come.
The fact that we are not yet seeing any exodus from the current cloud offerings is because there are no easy-to-use alternatives which, at the same time, offer a better degree of trust. But I am confident they will emerge, since a huge market for these kind of services has opened up - before the Snowden relevations we were just suspicious, now we are certain.
And an important selling point of these services will be to not be US-based, and better yet, not run by any american company. Trust can not be regained, and whatever will be said won't be believed: so you say that you are not spying on me? Yeah, sure! So you say you have no backdoors? Yeah, sure! So you say you can guarantee under oath that you will not spy on me, under any circumstances, and you can prove this with court documents, contracts, laws passed by the US congress, and the clear and concise statements of the US president and the CIA boss? Yeah, sure!
