Huh, interesting, I didn't know this. Thanks so much for sharing! Do you have a link? I searched and found all three companies, but I only see links to AWS Direct Connect and hybrid cloud solutions.

I just assumed if they're creating their own chips, they're probably creating their own servers, datacenters, networks, etc. but I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions.



Datacenters are weird. They're basically a real estate market, check out Digital Realty Trust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Realty

Networks are crazy too, especially between continents, ownership of undersea cables is fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_communications_cable

I'm guessing it's likely that this solution was adopted to quickly expand to a lot of countries due to data location and privacy questions being raised.
