Monopolies in "cloud" (e.g. remote storage and computing services) may develop, but I don't think its quite foreordained that such monopolies will develop. I think that there is a strong chance that we'll end up with an oligopoly (just like with gas stations, or airlines) where a few dominant providers (like Google, Amazon, Microsoft) control prices. While its not as good as a genuinely competitive market, I do not think oligopolies are as bad as monopolies, if only because each individual participant has an incentive to break with the cartel for increased short-term gains.

The funny thing about the cloud is that eventually there is going to be a monopoly of one company that dominates in it.
