Matthew Prince discusses CloudFlare's expansion beyond Silicon Valley, with significant user bases in countries like China, Brazil, Turkey, and Great Britain. The company has 14 data centers across eight countries on three continents, with plans for further international growth. He also addresses the historical limitations of the web supporting non-Latin alphabets and how CloudFlare now supports International Domain Names (IDNs) directly in their interface, allowing users to enter domains using native characters.
