Aren't there some Telco laws wrt cross-state, but still interlata, calls not being able to be charged as interstate? Perhaps Google wants to avoid any future federal/state regulations by providing in-state (i.e. "local") access. Additionally, it makes it easier to do state and local govt business when the data is in the same state (it's not out-sourcing if it's just nextdoor...). And then there is the "lobbying" issue, what better way to lobby multiple states than do do significant business their in? Or perhaps I'm just daydreaming too much today.... ;-) -Jim P.
