After the publication of this [https://gigazine.net/news/20190812-tor-
snowflake/ article] hundreds of Japanese people started installing the
Snowflake WebExt (yay!), but despite having an Internet service that's
orders of magnitudes better than the average American household, the
distance between then and the `nl` snowflake bridge seriously impacts the
throughput, so much that some snowflake proxies from Japan - despite
having more than 20MB/s upload/download - can't offer a download speed
bigger than 150KiB/s. What if there were for instance 5 snowflake bridges
in different geographical locations in the world and the broker associated
with each snowflake proxy the nearest snowflake bridge and sent this
information to the user (based on GeoIP, of course, not perfect but better
than the status quo)?
