Cloud Computing: What Are the Barriers to Entry and IT Diseconomies?

I think htat Microsoft doesn't have to be on the cutting edge in order to be a leader. Their sizable installed base makes them powerful and a force to be reckoned with... while many of the cloud visionaries are leveraging other core businesses, including books and search/advertising.

Thanks for your comment and I look forward to your paper.

Sincerely,

You're right that a global recession will have a broad impact. I think the question really is who will be impacted the most and the least? I think a much-needed evolution of the network will serve those vendors who embrace this innovation and punish those who focus on speeds and feeds.

Thanks for your comment.
