FCW reports that its sources have told it Amazon will build a private cloud infrastructure for the CIA, to help it ‘keep up with emerging technologies like big data in a cost-effective manner not possible under the CIA’s previous cloud efforts.’ [..] Perhaps the single biggest item on Amazon’s legislative agenda is a bill that would empower all states to collect sales tax from online retailers.”
