I have a list of people that I usually point to for connecting new people.
So I have a point in:
London
New York
San Francisco
Russia
Colorado
Perth
(And me in Sweden)
If there are more that are willing to act as connection points, and have
acceptable network connectivity, and is owning an area, feel free to let
me know, and I'll add you to my list.

the best answer -- closest to the rest of the net is also interesting --
but both of those should be visible on the map. ?You can turn off Level
1 nodes and links to see the area routing backbone only, that's probably
