the interrelationships between government and cloud service providers will always go well beyond a simple client-provider one. Contentious points in deciding for or against cloud-based solutions will necessarily include elements such as local economic development (do we attract businesses in our jurisdiction? do we create better opportunities to exploit broadband investments?) and employment both inside and outside government (do we put government jobs at risk if we outsource to cloud-based solutions? do we create opportunities for local businesses to leverage from this?).
