The price differential is enormous. "cloud" bought from US or Europe is 10-20x cheaper than in Australia which suggests its a very VERY immature market here. Why cost it onshore? Think about getting 16Tb of data up into the cloud... I costed 16TB of storage+processing on, and offshore. The price differential is enormous.

After reading about the Microsoft cloud solution last year they put us on to some guys called HubOne. The moved all out email and office communication to “the cloud”. We can finally get back to running our actual business. Our company struggled with ISP email and then our own exchange server for many years.
