Gibson already predicted the outcome: Columbian Data Havens
I can't find the passage now but in one of the Neuromancer era novels was mention that the logical end game of the competition between criminals and gonverments was the Columbian cartles got VERY good at cyber security - to the point they just opened up for business storing other's data.
I mean, if your criminal enterprise relies on good InfoSec and you have Beeelion$ in profit to throw at it, why wouldn't you spend a bit on ensuring you keep it?
And once you've done that, spin it off as a profit making service: Cartel Web Services anyone?
