Comment on Cisco’s cloud vision: Mandatory, monetized, and killed at their discretionparent

Comments

A router is not a 'cloud service'. I give specific information to a cloud service to do with as it sees fit; I give my router literally everything I do on the Internet.

Somewhat of a difference there.

Gmail is a very popular cloud service, and email contains almost everything you do.

It does? Last I checked my gmail was full of letters to/from my mom and spam. Hardly "everything I do" on the Internet. I also willingly signed up for gmail because, you know, it offers a service that is useful for me. Hard to make that argument here.

I tried to make the argument that a cloud router (though not this one) could provide a useful service. I guess people don't agree, hence the downvotes.
