Hosting the E-learning Party

This article raises an excellent question. "When learning needs won’t wait, more and more companies are looking to quick-start ASP (application service provider) solutions, where e-learning content, services and management systems are externally hosted." But, "so if ASP’s such a good option, why isn’t everyone using it?" The author cites problems such as security, bandwidth and reliability. But I think it's deeper than that: people didn't want to find themselves in the situation like those who used Geocities, Hotmail or Yahoo Groups - sudden changes in terms of service (including huge cost increases) - once they were locked in to the service.
