It's a matter of locale. Having an entrepreneur in South Africa or Tibet hear about the money making opportunity, setting up a peer, and then paying them for it is better than flying there for a month to set up a business presence and figuring out all the local everythings. Akamai et al has already done this, and charge money commensurate with having done that. This group seems to be banking on someone in Kathmandu hearing about this opportunity and setting up a peer there.
