Received responses are the following:
• Electricity supply, broadband connectivity, security and privacy issues
• Access to finances for CSPs, more capacity building and training for end users
• White labelled solutions

• Bandwidth cost
• Cloudification of infrastructures is not a matter of choice any more
• Government support and regulation, capacity and skilled manpower
• Providing cloud services by Telcos may increase the adoption of these services in the developing
countries because Telcos are trusted parties in these countries
• Economies of scale (shared resources, cost savings, cost reduction)
• Centralised government services
• Local data centres for SME's

• Website hosting locally
• Cloud computing awareness workshops
• Developing countries are providing cloud services by telecom companies, but we do not have it by
