I don't see anything different to AWS, Azure and Google standard approach (and now AliBaba) of addict them whilst young and milk them when growing. Look at gmail + goggle drive of $5/Gbyte per month ... apparently not responsive to market competition as hasn't changed for years. I would like to think to support local IaaS providers (shoutout to OrionVM here) if the price differential is not too great. Ultimately (if the telcos have any sense) it is a numbers game and economy of scale works in favor of specialist providers who can innovate faster than their peers in making it easy to deploy Docker images or other VM containers. Oh ... and the new trust-to-trust systems coming out.
