But isn't the issue wider than just not having datacenters? As I understand it the issue is multi-faced and composed of:

1. Reliable power 2. Reliable connectivity. 3. Lack of trust from users (prefer outside providers) 4. Expensive (no economy of scale) 5. Lack of inter-country connectivity.

All of this makes it hard to actually build a profitable data center provider.

I am sure I'm wrong though, I'd be interested in your opinion on this.
