Not all applications need low latencies(your exceptions like VOIP, conferencing are correct). Do you know if ANY of the big CDN networks like akamai et all have servers located in the sub-continent. Pinging google.co.in from a VSNL leased line results in >[100-140]ms round trip time. Thats a datacenter in taiwan i think. google.co.in used to resolve to some Akamai IPs some time ago. Google usually only locates its web servers in same locations as their several datacenters. The asian ones are a mystery. I'm just talking nonsense now, i know. :) Hello Anoop,
