Australia needs a cloud computing regulator
This article is by Sam Higgins, research director at Longhaus, a leading Asia-Pacific ICT industry analyst firm covering Australia and near shore markets. This article first appeared in the firm’s Longview journal (PDF) and is published here with its permission.
analysis In June 2010 Microsoft held an industry analyst event in Sydney. In attendance was Greg Stone, chief technology officer for Microsoft in Australia and New Zealand.
Amongst other things Longhaus discussed with Stone were issues relating to standards, data sovereignty and regulation of the global cloud computing market. One particular element of that discussion was market supervision and in particular what happens when cloud providers fail; and who is responsible for mitigating this risk? It was a topic that also received attention from Laura Smith of SearchCIO.com in August.
Compared with other utility or critical industries, it is reasonable to say that information technology is only lightly regulated. If you step beyond technology manufacturing, of which there is little in Australia, and telecommunication service providers being monitored by the Australian Media and Communication Authority (ACMA), this is especially so.
