Since that article is old, what I just posted there, plus a little more:

The cloud is a dead concept already in the USA, and its not even off the ground fully. The problem is that while all the tech is there, and the bandwidth is there... the cost of that bandwidth has recently gone through the roof and up out into 'outer space' on a Governor Brown moonbeam... ( ;) ) for no rational reason other than 1%er CEO-class greed.

All the cellphone companies in the USA are starting to cap people's 3g and 4g service at 1gb/month (gasp), and then charge an arm and a leg by the byte you go over...

So streaming anything on a portable device is going to be dead in the water in the USA. Once you move more than 20-feet from that Starbucks WiFi router and switch to whatever-g, you might as well sign over your mortgage...

So there's no rate I'd be willing to pay for this, until somebody smacks the cellphone providers upside the head and takes away a few hundred million from their CEO's salary instead of extorting us 99%ers...

A cloud that only works 'at home' is what we're left with - and that's a useless concept.

I'd pay a dollar to stream NWN so I could actually answer the survey on my iPad.
