That's the only way I found to get any sort of text.

Both Google and Facebook both have datacenters/PoPs in Taiwan? I can't imagine the 24mm people there justify it, and both services are either largely unused or blocked in the nearby PRC... I'm more surprised that Google has no presence in Japan, though.
Ok I watched the presentation now, Sonar apparently does that indeed.

Fun to see DSR in use.
Also interesting to see that all the inherent problems with geolocation via gslb (DNS client IP is not the same as the real client IP) don't wind up being a big problem apparently. This seems to be a growing concern in my experience: users aren't located where thier ISP DNS servers are located.

I'm surprised that neither have any datacenters in India. Does anyone know why this might be?
* They eventually will build one, but Indian consumers are (as of right now) less valuable to them (from an ad targeting perspective) than other geographies e.g. the economic/time/effort investment ROI is better elsewhere in the short term
* SE Asia (and their POPs there) have reasonable connectivity to India, so it might good enough for the time being

My intuition tells me it's a combination of: * They eventually will build one, but Indian consumers are (as of right now) less valuable to them (from an ad targeting perspective) than other geographies e.g. the economic/time/effort investment ROI is better elsewhere in the short term * SE Asia (and their POPs there) have reasonable connectivity to India, so it might good enough for the time being

I wonder what the reasons behind their similar distribution are. One is surely the density of users, but maybe there are others related to the actual hosting, like cost, law or infrastructure.
