I think geographic distances are a poor approximation of network
distances, but good enough to be usable.
If people think that this is not the case, then we should immediately
"retire" the continent and country zones by making them a CNAME to the
global zone.
Country zone files are reasonable (no proof), if for no other reason than the
convenience factor.
Regional zones are not useful. Even here in the UK it can be quicker to access a
US based server than, say, a Dutch or French one. And that's with inter-European
transit links. I wouldn't say that the UK was a badly connected country, either.
Others have also already put forward concerns about political issues limiting
cross-border connections.
Let's keep it simple.
