open standards

You saw how far behind legislation was, just to give us the ability to keep our cell phone numbers. It will take them 10 years to figure out that they should require an open standard for any other data.

Personally, I don't think regulators should be involved - we, the business owners, should require openness of cloud vendors in these early years, since we've been through this all before in various scenarios.

As always, cloud users will have the choice with their purchasing power. If they don't require open standards of their provider up front, then they should be ready to deal with the eventuality that their data isn't necessarily portable to another provider.
