New Salesforce.com Data Centre in Singapore

Salesforce.com 10 months after announcing plans to build a data centre in Singapore are now ready to go live.

According to information I have obtained just this morning, I am lead to believe that certain user 'orgs' have been asked to become among the first to be migrated across to the new data centre platform.

If you view trust.salesforce.com, you will see incredibly fast page delivery speeds, but importantly, these speeds are 'delivery' speeds, and do not account necessarily for the actual speed it may take for you to get a salesforce.com page open on your computer.

Will this new data centre mean faster speeds for salesforce.com users in Australia? With less hops to us? I am not expert on telecommunications infrastructure between Sydney and Singapore, but I wonder which ISP's in Australia will have the fastest connections to the Singapore data centre?

Will this mean that salesforce.com users on the Singapore data centre will not be subject to the Patriot Laws that are in affect in the USA?
