Is there any point in buying cloud services locally or internationally or what?

Since you're asking the question, there's probably no point for you. What do you even mean by "buying cloud services locally or internationally" ?

i'm researching for an assignment, give me a break haha.
i mean like, when you are paying to use a companies cloud services (I, P or S) You can go to big ones like yahoo and google and stuff but there are local companies selling cloud infrastructure within the same country... and smaller ones internationally too.
I was just wondering if there is any benefit eg having you files stored in the same country, or some software services provided by the same country. I can't think of any reason either way (locally or internationally), cept maybe to keep the economy going? idk. this is why i ask.


would it change the speed at all if it was stored in america? and you lived in china?
would it matter if the person using the cloud was a huge business? where is the best place to go for cloud services?
