Most African countries are predominantly reliant on satellie bandwidth which is horrendously expensive, and the others are reliant on undersea cables run by incumbent operators who charge like wounded buffalo. South Africa would be the best bet for Google, although with the vast amounts of bandwidth required by them - and 1GB costing around R50 wholesale (around $6.50) it could still take a long, long time.

One of the reasons Google built the center in Hickory NC was easy access to cheap power which was no longer being used due to the decline of the textile industry in that area. That allows Google to contract with the dam for all of their power over long periods at set prices.

A more interesting question is what percentage of Google's energy is free (generated by hydro/solar) as opposed to others'? Because that's a major expense they're making an effort to save, and in cases where they generate it themselves or it's the local underused hydro dam, it's also not competing with the public for that power.
