It is hard to predict what will catch on like a "forest fire" and what will simmer down to ashes. It is definitely an idea worth exploring as a business opportunity. My team has implemented small infra solutions similar to this on AWS, Digital Ocean, and Rackspace. AWS already provides the infrastructure for the concept you have posted. VMWare does the same for your own physical DC. Your concern about data residing in foreign shores (under the foreign jurisdiction) is valid *but* with most people who are now addicted to social networking sites like FB, Tweeter, Whatsapp etc., their mind set has also changed (IMO) vis-a-vis data privacy. A few India based DC like Cntl-S may be the place to start your venture.
