Yeah, and here's a much more incisive analysis than I could ever write:

You don’t want to differentiate on the basic compute, storage, and network
offering. You want this to be as standard and interoperable as possible, just
like 3G networks, TCP/IP, and similar service provider technologies. By
creating a common open platform that everyone uses there is a better
opportunity to facilitate wider adoption, create a competitive infrastructure
service marketplace where providers work on differentiating in areas where they
have an inherent advantage:
• Service and support
• Network & datacenter tie-ins (e.g. MPLS, hosting/co-lo)
• Bundled service offerings
• Differentiated value-added cloud services (VACS)
This is a game that all telcos and service providers understand. They have been
playing it for the past 15+ years.
