I haven't heard any of the current customers I've dealt with even utter anything related to the NSA changing their minds at all about the cloud. Most companies that are even considering moving their infra offsite to a 3rd party have already vetted the risk/reward value prop and accepted the risks. Much of the articles and talk like this don't factor in to that decision; assuming a slight risk that a 3rd party can access your data was already signed off as acceptable when moving offsite, NSA or not.

Decision making takes a long time in any bigger company. Changes often take month to years before implementation starts. I guess, the business effects of the US/worldwide internet spying will not be visible right now, but in a few months or years.

My argument above is that companies that have decided to move to the cloud, NSA or not, have already signed off on the fact that it is worth the risk to allow possible 3rd party access. The new discussion about the NSA doesn't affect that decision.
