That said, relying on them for a corporate application of any size puts several layers of infrastructure that you cannot manage between workers and productivity. I realize stuff happens at every level, but if things go awry at the LAN level at least you can be proactive. Lose a T1 or ISP server or any other link between you and your app (or remote files) and you wait. Maybe not a big deal if your competitors are also sitting on their hands, but that scenario is unlikely. Next, I realize it can be argued that security is an illusion. Still, I can watch something near better than I can watch something far. Naive? Call it my security blanket.
