I wonder what the reasons behind their similar distribution are.

One is surely the density of users, but maybe there are others related to the actual hosting, like cost, law or infrastructure.



infrastructure : electricity, roads, price of land, availability of workforce, water, temeprature, closeness to the backbones.

Add that to the density of users and the timing they expect. Once you factor all that, you end up with a limited amount of possibilities.


Both companies have looked for optimal choices, taking into account all factor, it is logic that they ended up with the same answers.
