There's also the chance that USDoJ vs. Microsoft will land in USDoJ's favour. If so, then if your cloud provider is US-based (e.g. Amazon), then your data can be procured by the US government with a NSL or similar secret court mechanisms without you even being notified. I don't think that people frequenting HN need to have it explained to them why this is bad for US-based cloud providers. Amazon needs to segregate Frankfurt, fast.

Will US companies really be able to segregate like you suggest? That sounds too easy...
