My opinion is, that the answer is not black or white. I’m sure, that there neither will be a world of thousands of Cloud providers nor will there be only few in the future. The reason is, that for offering a full cloud infrastructure with distributed datacenters, you need some efforts. Not every single small ISP will be able to provide this. I agree, that plenty of companies are going to offer hundreds or thousands of Tier-2 or 3 cloud offerings. Maybe based on a few dozens of Tier-1 clouds. I also agree, that there might be also many “intranet clouds”, when talking about cloud computing beeing a new kind of IT paradigm.
