Reading the above, is this going to cause issues with iOS devices within the government?
It's been a long time since I've tried to order Apple products at the federal level, but China was always an issue.. Apple used to make a batch of products in the US for the government, but not sure if they still do.
The fact that people almost all have to use iCloud in some way (iMessage, Docs, etc) that a data center going up in China, could cause issues with privacy and government usage.
Any thoughts? We already have people here advocating the blocking of iCloud - which at this point is impossible because it goes through the cell network, but at BYOD becomes closer to reality, iCloud could feasibly be blocked by policy.
I'm also a little concerned that a lot of my personal data could be sitting at a data center located in a country that has made numerous attacks at Google to get information.
