Room in Cloud Storage for a Canadian based provider?

Do you think the cloud storage market has room or justification for a Canadian based provider? Some colleagues and I are in the process of developing a cloud architecture that let's us undercut Amazon EC2 by ~50% and turn a significant profit, while remaining Canadian owned/operated and based.

We think one of our advantages is the fact that our servers would be in Canada and so, more sheltered from the Patriot Act, among other things.

What are your thoughts?



If it's as good as EC2 and cheaper no-one should care if it's Canadian.


That's fair. Will being Canadian serve as an incentive at all?
