So but what happens if we got money to set up servers

as non-Chapters have done elsewhere.
For example, there is Yahoo in Korea, Lost Oasis/Jexiste in
France/Luxembourg/Switzerland, Kennisnet in the Netherlands. If you
try and access Wikipedia in those countries, your likely getting the
information sent to you from those local servers, instead of the Tampa
machines.
Those are all caching servers. There is no hosting of content as such.
Believe me, this has been cleared with many lawyers ;-).
The French ones are not there at all anymore.
In any case, the primary goal of a chapter should definitely not be
hosting content, but making sure that the content hosted by the WMF is
spread and used as much as possible.
