Seriously, though: I do not understand how setting up
colocations in other countries is going to accomplish
anything that putting the same hardware into the Florida colo
wouldn't already accomplish.
Disaster recovery, power failure (UPS/Generator failure), fibre cut, ISP
going bankrupt leading to lock out, international fibre system failure,
faster access for non US customers, etc.
Florida is not an ideal location either from a US network perspective, most
of the European landings are in NY; whereas Asian landings are California.
From memory I think the Columbus cable system is the
only transatlantic
fibre to land in Florida which connects to Tarifa in Southern
Spain; and the
Spanish end is not idea for European connectivity.
