> it makes sense to put a few servers in each of 100 locations rather concentrate them in a half dozen cloud regions.
Large cloud providers have a backbone network with interconnects to many ISPs reducing the amount of Hops a client has to take across the internet.

Treating the Cloud as a traditional IAAS Datacenter extension will be more expensive.
By utilising PAAS, only using resource that's needed and when it's needed, etc.. is much cheaper.
