I think there's a lot of stuff here depending on who is the target user, but some ideas to think about:

- distributed the same as other equipment - loaded up on transports coming from the west

- war zone moves - what is accessible today may not be accessible tomorrow, so setting up backup access in nodes currently not affected is important

- ISPs could use them as emergency down/up link when international cables are cut

- military actions are very unevenly distributed - you can literally drive past a column of invading army forces because you're not relevant (see lots of civilian videos)
