The first thing that stands out is that pricing and available capacity are missing. The condition that data is processed inside Japan looks like a fit for industries with strict regulation, but that explanation comes from SoftBank's announcement, and the actual security level can only be judged after the official launch. The article alone also makes it hard to know when outside customers will be able to sign up. If you are comparing this with domestic cloud services on cost, which items would you check first?
