Cloud computing, along with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), is a popular buzzword in IT these days. But before you commit hosting your favorite rates billing program in India, consider the risk of the delivery mechanism that supports SaaS and Cloud computing - the Internet.

"For service providers, the Internet is about to become a lot more expensive to deploy and operate; for users, the Internet is about to become a lot less reliable and a lot more expensive (and balkanized). It gets worse: There's no clear fix. Next-generation Internet projects have come and gone over the years, with little real success. Several projects are underway, but they're nowhere near complete -- and there's no consensus that any of them will actually work."
