This week BSA released “Lockout,” a report that shows how a new wave of IT-focused trade barriers threaten to keep global companies out of critical emerging markets — and how the actions of big markets like China and India signal a domino effect, with other emerging economies following suit.
The report describes five distinct types of market barriers that IT companies confront around the world, and it features a series of case studies illustrating how they are implemented in practice. Each of the barriers that the report enumerates deserves careful consideration, so I will discuss them in a series of blog posts over the next week or two. I will start today by focusing on regulatory obstacles to cloud computing.
