Anyone want to take a guess at Google's motive (other than goodwill)? Better access to East Asian customers?

- fred_durst 12y ago> This will get it pretty close to the company’s data center in The Dalles, Ore., and give that facility a better connection to Japan. That seems like enough to me.
- teek 12y agoI've been living in Japan and access across the pond is a bit flaky at times. Most of the time I can blame my local service provider (a sharehouse) for their piece of shit router, but there are countless numbers of times when a stream will suddenly cut or a connection will just time out for no good reason (while other simultaneous connections even across the ocean are fine).
- BillFranklin 12y agoAh, thanks for the background info.
