When a ship anchor severs a submarine cable...it matters - esp when/if a provider does not have redundancy. If hosted locally, then services stay up. of course we have our own cable cuts but we could work around them easier than intl cuts. My two cowries.

Good people,
Sometimes we insist on seeing the trees at the expense of seeing the forest.
In the larger scheme of things, where does it matter where the data is hosted? Is this more of a consideration than the availability of the data? Does it really matter that the data is in Seattle, Sears, Seaton or Senna? Does this in any way hinder our access to it?
