That notary thing is very stupid but just one thing - let's not pretend the US doesn't have stupidity on that level too. DMV lines, anyone? One voting booth for an entire city because it's majority black?

You would think Cloudflare would be in a position to do something about it, like they did with several cloud services in their Bandwidth Alliance. It would be a win-win-win for networks to interconnect better in India, it just can't

They do it at cost with a caveat: you can only ever use Cloudflare for that domain. It's a loss leader.
