... for the tech world now. So, this isn't just some small segment of the high tech market we are talking about. The huge theme at that conference was cloud computing and working with big data.

If the U.S. firms start losing a lot of their development and deployment of cloud technologies overseas, it will be a big drain on our economy that perhaps even the new H-1B quota expansion from immigration bill might not be as damaging towards.

I'm wondering if many companies will rather just deploy their operations overseas instead of having more H-1B Visas do work here if they feel the NSA oversight of their businesses on U.S. localed parts of their business will just cost them more customers.
