Ask HN: Any value in a hosting facility on Native American land?

Thought exercise : Would a hosting facility/data center on Native American tribal land be useful? By operating on tribal land a business is exempt from many state specific laws. The business would not be exempt from federal laws.

I doubt it, since the data will cross state lines, putting it under Federal jurisdiction (please correct me if my law is wrong)

The gambling industry has been taking advantage of this for a while.
