How long ago was it that the 'cloud' vendors proclaimed/advertised that 'In the old days everyone had their own generator, their own well. Now just like electricity or water, you have computing on tap'. Sounds pretty much like a public utility to me and thus should be regulated as one.

Just because I describe something as essential when trying to sell it to you, doesn’t make it actually essential.

I do believe some level of internet serving access is a public utility. But i doubt that level is cloud hosting.
