"The Internet is a big multi-tenant network," Engates said. "We're doing multi-tenancy all over the place -- [yet] people embrace it in one place and then on the other hand they downplay it like it's the worst thing. At this point, I think it's more about lack of awareness -- and Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt."
