This is much like what we've been doing in grid computing by "moving the computation to the data" since in some cases that is the only practical way you can work with petabytes etc. It's also similar to trading companies moving their code around the world every day as financial markets go live since the latency back to the home country would put them at a competitive disadvantege. And it's also obviously quite akin to the application delivery techniques that CDNs have been doing for some time (getting more than simply files closer to the delivery point). All very interesting stuff. If there was a clean API to "just do it" for us little guys that would be awesome.
