Amazon EC2. They currently offer the most flexible solution for the emerging "Data as a Service" (DaaS) frontier. As noted in some of the commentary above, it's about who delivers the most cost-effective route to data required by data consumers (typically data analysts). At the current time Amazon, courtesy of the nature of Linux licensing which enables the construction of paid AMIs, leads the pack. Amazon is basically accelerating the emergence of the Web 3.0 based "citizen analyst" just as Web 2.0 gave us the "citizen journalist" . Interesting conversation developing for sure :-) Kingsley Paul,

Maybe next step they could make is creating a big SPARQL distributed server with those datasets with the "pay-as-you-go" model, so semantic web users don't need to setup their own instances. I'd say Amazon's last move is a bit similar to ISPs back in the days setting up local mirrors of Linux distributions and shareware sites, so their users had them close. Good move, but that will not bring long-term differentiator.
