Let me make sure we're talking about the same things:
I'm talking about the contract Nokia has with service providers to keep the lights on. Those contracts, to my understanding, for ALL services related to Maemo/MeeGo, terminate at the end of the year, regardless of provider.

It is also my understanding that currently one group has administrative access to all of the above mentioned services. I do not know the layout of those services internally, nor their physical or network locations. What you're noting is that their network locations (and possibly their physical locations) are varied, which very well may be. But they are all serviced by one group.

This is not at all uncommon in the world of networking. It would not seem odd to me at all to see a high-bandwidth service (like a repository) placed in a different physical location where data access is faster or cheaper. It also makes sense from a standpoint of redundancy to have systems in separate locations, allowing the others to serve as backup locations and/or fail-over systems. For all we know, these servers could be running in Nokia office complexes across several countries.

I'm hoping we'll know more about all of this very soon. But right now, what we do know we're happy to share. What we don't we'll be sure to ask about.
