Servers in a data center are a very different beast than portable devices. They also have far fewer regulatory restrictions than cell phones; you don't need to register your custom server with the FCC, after all.

The unfortunate thing is that it's all too easy to imagine a scenario where you do have to get approval from a .gov regulator to put a server on the internet.

Or worse, several of them. Your copyright license, your permit for attaching to the internet, your Homeland Security Virus Scanning permit, etc.

Man, it's the internet. Just put your servers in another country.

Didn't work for Google in China all that well, did it now?
