Reality and the Cloud Session 06

Building on massive regional broadband and access initiatives, individuals and organizations now have ample opportunities to access a continuously growing variety of online services that are based on cloud computing:

• How "cloudy" is the MENA region, and what opportunities are companies missing out on by not adopting this trend?

• Considering privacy and confidentiality issues, should they even be considering cloud computing as an alternative?

• Why are so many MENA companies using hosted space and services that are provided by US companies? What is the region lacking to capture market share?
