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?
@Rad,
It does matter, because it's the taxpayer's money.
If the data was hosted here in Kenya, some Kenyans would get employment as a consequence (if you want to call it so). It may be expensive (than having in the US), perhaps but at the end of the day, it would be better to have that money spent here at home, than in the US.
My shortsighted view.
