Re: Oracle would not complain about the DoD contracting from one supplier alone

While a $1 billion/yr contract is nothing to scoff at, I think it's a bit naive to assume there aren't similar sized contracts, if not larger contracts, from the 3-letter agencies. This is *ONLY* for the DoD. There is plenty of pie to go around, and I would imagine that's been taken into account.

Case in point (you can find countless with a little bit of searching):

Granted, Amazon has absolutely been the leader which gives them a bit of a leg up, but this is just sour milk by Oracle. It might be a different story if MS were doing the same, but Oracle is just desperately looking for anything they can to prove that their cloud strategy isn't just a me-too joke (which it is).
