Google’s Service Provider team to present a session focused on trends and opportunities they foresee for service providers. Cloud computing is it in your future? Is it in your customers' future? 

Cloud computing is a hot topic these days as the industry increasingly turns its focus to internet delivered applications.  Reduced cost is a key consideration for customers who are considering cloud-based offerings, but this model offers far more than reduced cost.  Internet service providers can deliver capabilities the were previously considered highly desirable but not financially feasible.  What are some of the potential advantages to customers of cloud-based offerings, and why are service providers key players in the channel necessary to make these opportunities a reality?
