Not too surprising. I'd expect the fallout and economic impact of mass surveillance to unfold over several years, with a gradual move away from US-based technology companies, including SaaS & PaaS, in favour of open source software and self-hosted solutions.
- pkorzeniewski 12y agoI wonder if there will be a comeback of self-hosted software in the near future just for the security and surveillance reasons, especially in business environment. There was the whole Cloud craze not so long ago, where many companies were pushing all their data outside local infrastructure, but I wonder if this is a good move in the long-term. SaaS has many advantages over "classic" solutions, but security and reliability was always a weak point and it may be a major factor against it in the future.
