Since you're asking the question, there's probably no point for you. What do you even mean by "buying cloud services locally or internationally" ?

i'm researching for an assignment, give me a break haha.
i mean like, when you are paying to use a companies cloud services (I, P or S) You can go to big ones like yahoo and google and stuff but there are local companies selling cloud infrastructure within the same country... and smaller ones internationally too.
I was just wondering if there is any benefit eg having you files stored in the same country, or some software services provided by the same country. I can't think of any reason either way (locally or internationally), cept maybe to keep the economy going? idk. this is why i ask.


would it change the speed at all if it was stored in america? and you lived in china?
would it matter if the person using the cloud was a huge business? where is the best place to go for cloud services?
