That's a slightly awkward looking reference customer list (assuming that's what it is).
May I ask why? Is it just because you don't know them?
Coming in 2018 – New AWS Region in Sweden

Re: Coming in 2018 – New AWS Region in Sweden
#12Have to wonder how much of the push for more EU AWS regions comes from dealing with a potential exodus from the London region due Brexit (e.g. because of data protection issues)
I imagine the greater concern is the deep integration between the NSA, GCHQ and ISPs in the UK and USA.

As if any first-world government weren't already monitoring everyone as best they can?

Err.. The Swedish FRA[1] is in cahoots with the ones you mention. I doubt that's the concern.

AFAIK the US and UK share the databases access(or have an easy/fast way to share info - sorry I forgot where I got this information so I don't have a link tas a proof but I think is already a known fact) so hopefully NSA has to do more paperwork before asking other EU country for data.

Sweden cooperates with the NSA

I'm actually disappointed they went with Stockholm. Though I can understand why (proximity to a large pool of talent among other things).
Why would they need to be close to 'a large pool of talent' in order to run a bunch of hosting? It doesn't take that many people to run a hosting facility, the ones I'm familiar with are mostly deserted. They take people to set up and a large amount of capital but once that's done it takes very few people to run. Even the (very large) Google data centers typically do not employ more than 100 people, that's 30 people…

They don't. There will be a handful of English speaking data center operators, but that's it.

In Sweden we've got "FRA", which is one of NSA's BFFs.

Dude, you'd not believe how big the demand on the UK region is.
