This in today's Wall Street Journal...

<snip>As more businesses turn to cloud computing, analysts warn that
the pay-as-you-go promise of using applications accessed via the
Internet can be hard to realize.

Some characteristics of traditional business software contracts have
been creeping into cloud service negotiations. Software service
providers, analysts say, are bundling together applications, a
practice common with traditional packaged software deals, and
requiring businesses to agree to a multiyear commitment for using
applications and other services.

Those practices can run counter to the cloud’s theoretical promise of
flexibility, in which businesses could at will drop one service for
another that offers better terms or technology.<snip>
