A pretty comprehensive review of NOIA and the opportunity it provides both users and those who want to support the network. While its all fine to speak about the tech to recruit investors and those wanting to support it via nodes if no one wants to host their content on this platform its going to be DOA.
Azure, Goolge Cloud and AWS have had massive drives spending millions of dollars to drive education and adoption of cloud services for big businesses and thats where it really is needed at the moment. If NOIA thinks people are going to jump on board based on cheaper or faster and ditch the safety and fimiliarity that big brands offer they will surely be mistaken.
Its going to take a monumental marketing, branding and direct sales inititive to get this project off the ground and thats where I think its going to either suceed or fail.
You're spot on mate, I imagine word of mouth will help out a lot. And a strong community to support the project. We'll see how big this project can get. :)
