Nothing frustrates small business than "simple" websites design and hosting services. Turning to ISPs they are told hosting are "valueadd services" only offer "bundled" with other products. Many thus never go online. Who is interested in partnering on "community servers"?

For there to be a shift in preference there are two things that need to happen
1) Affordable collocation/data center facilities need to be built ASAP. 2) International fiber.

Walu - your pension may tripple as a result :)
