I'm not buying in yet myself- It's not a bad concept for your music library,
but not anything I'm interested in for my photos or documents.  It's free
for a reason =)

This article however is related to the potential risks for Government
information being shared/stored outside of a controlled environment, and the
need to have a clear policy for both the Federal workforce AND Contractors
using "iDevices" and syncing with the iCloud. 

It's another case of "why do they provide these devices to people and then
not allow them to use all of the features"?  One side argues you can't stop
them; the other argues you need to.

When government employees and contractors bring these devices into the
workplace, these services can quickly become a security and compliance
nightmare. Similar to Dropbox, iCloud was designed for consumers; therefore,
it lacks the necessary security for stored information and offers no
oversight or management control over information that is shared. Because IT
has no visibility or control over the information being accessed or shared,
it is impossible to know just how exposed an organization is to a data breach.
