In my case, I work for an ISP -- althoug not my ISP -- and the "cloud server" is a small virtual guest (that I manage) in one of $work's facilities. Between $work and AT&T (my home ISP), who do you think I trust more?

Many people have very little choice when it comes to the ISP they use. By setting up a "cloud server", at least they get to decide who, i.e. which cloud provider, has access to their traffic -- and can switch between providers much easier and at any time they wish.

that's a good point, but if you go with any of the major "cloud" providers, I don't think that you would be in a better position.

Many of the isps modify your stream - Verizon used to add a subscriber id (so anyone can track and correlate you despite your best effort). Comcast used to add their messages into incoming html.

Does any major (or minor) cloud provide do that?
