NOTICE - Policy govern many aspects of life and the cloud computing industry is no different. There are a few countries whose laws and policies create a barrier that makes it difficult for their cloud hosting businesses grow. We will take a look at the two economies first in the world :. China and the United States

Although the two nations maintain massive savings (2nd and 1st respectively), they are still subject to potential losses in GDP due to the policy within their own borders. the country's policy does not only play a role in the future of cloud computing at the national level but also internationally. China, although it does not yet have much of the computer industry in market clouds, is not done with his political favors in his attempt to create one. Conversely, America, although it retains a dominant share of mass market and in the cloud hosting industry has declined and created some concerns for consumers because of its own political fall-out.
"Great Firewall of China"
The commercial strategy of cloud hosting companies, at its core, is based on fast and reliable Internet. The Chinese government policies make it much more difficult for foreign cloud hosting companies to compete with their national counterparts. Some international companies because of Golden Shield Project, better known as the "Great Firewall of China", made it impossible for some cloud-based programs even be used by the public (most notably Google Apps ).
The additional step to be evaluated by the Chinese firewall adds a process that in other countries are not required. This will naturally cause latency and move away from the bottom line, while discouraging investment. China has been widely criticized for their Internet police. Generally, most of the police on the Internet focuses on anti-government views, particularly to China, everything shows the opposite sense to the Communist Party. Because of the Golden Shield project, even small international sales to China may come under heavy surveillance. Cisco has sold $ 100,000 worth of routers for the Golden Shield project in 08. For Cisco, this sale is just a drop in the bucket, but he got media attention because of the use of routers for . When operations from day to day in a company must be open to the public, it is reasonable to assume future investments may be limited. However, it leaves only domestic companies with a chance to succeed, which in the short term are not necessarily bad for China.
U.S. NSA Spy Program
Often it is much easier to criticize a foreign country for lack of transparency. Yet, in my view, China is very transparent - it is pretty well known what and how content they police the Internet. In the United States, the opposite is often true. It seems that every few months, we hear of a new National Security Agency spying program. Prism Project US, for example, is an exploration of mass surveillance data program that became known to the public in 2013. The US government is often perceived internationally as hypocritical regarding spying on other countries and the citizens. At least with the Chinese government, we could say that it is much more open.
The non-US companies surveyed Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, which used US cloud companies and found that 10% of these companies canceled the project after the project Prism or similar monitoring efforts that have been made public. In addition, 56% of foreign companies would be "less likely" to use a cloud computing American society in the future, citing that they could not be trusted. Nothing has changed technologically, but the lack of transparency and trust is broken to the point where US policy now affects cloud industry.
cloud investments in Europe
A Informa Global Insight Global coverage survey shows that North America accounts for about 70% of market share computing and cloud innovation. With his political position, China has actually isolated, preventing it from becoming a major player on the international market clouds. This does not mean that America is no competition. The share of the American market is large enough, although it has lost some steam because of NSA leaks causing an atmosphere of distrust. After all, if you can not trust the US government, then you probably can not trust cloud hosting companies in the United States either.
This feeling is especially true for European countries, most of which are trying to catch up by investing millions and millions in cloud computing. It is not known if the share of the US market will continue to decline while Asian and European companies will benefit, but one thing is certain - no matter what country comes with the best cloud technology, if it can not trust it will not be used.
