America, from Alaska to the southern tip of Mexico specifically. Basic idea
if big power outage, something causes a big part of the grid to go down,
response is not compromised as systems shift to the available web servers
all needed traffic...standard stuff. Just where to place with such a large
and disaparate user base. Sometimes I think just a few big ones are great,
but then think even smaller more geographically distributed ones are
better....
We may either choose hosts, or setup independant data centers/colo some
places....we are just trying to think through no single point of failure for
the whole deal. Can't really be more specific, sorry.
Thoughts, thanks Matt. Offlist is fine unless you think the greater good
could benefit from the knowledge.

I think you are asking which general geographical areas you should use
for your hosting. Well... it depends on who you are going to use for
hosting and where your clients are likely to come from. I can give very
detailed specifics if you would be willing to be more specific about
your needs.
