Quotation of the Day for August 10, 2013



"If businesses or governments think they might be spied on, they will have less reason to trust the cloud, and it will be cloud providers who ultimately miss out.

"Why would you pay someone else to hold your commercial or other secrets, if you suspect or know they are being shared against your wishes? Front or back door - it doesn't matter - any smart person doesn't want the information shared at all. Customers will act rationally, and providers will miss out on a great opportunity."

- Neelie Kroes, Vice President of the European Commission "on the consequences of living in an age of total information".
