This thread is getting off topic. As stated before: The RFC is for a datacenter in the United States.
Can we please fork this thread for discussing: * What different copyright related implications datacenters in countries other than the United States have * What the consequences are for latency of datacenters that are not on the US west coast for certain countries, continents or areas
Thanks.

I may just be spouting nonsense, but I've heard a few separate people mention to me that Iceland is an increasingly attractive place for

as they're in the Schengen area (making it easy to get to) but *not* in
the
European Union (so not subject to EU laws on hosting data), it's got a
lot
of green energy, and cooling is cheaper because it's cold there.
And how is the copyright situation? is there a counterpart to fair use (and is it as broad as in US?) or CDA 230?
Anyway, Iceland irrelevant for this particular RFP (AIUI) but maybe it would be considered in a future req.
