    Just depends on the interest in your region. I'd say that, apart from developer-operated playtesting servers, all servers would be third-party.

    Which brings me to a question. Will there be initial test servers (since the devs stated that initially people won't be running their own servers during the testing phase) for people outside of the North American region? (i.e. for those participating in the alpha/beta)
    A lot of ISPs might be willing to host free public servers for games, simply because that's-what-they-do, but also because it gives them recognition/advertising - which may also be relevant to the OP's concerns.

    I already emailed charlie about contacting a GSP for the alpha/beta servers.. he thought it was a good idea :D

    As far as South Africa goes, I'm not aware of anyone actually hosting game servers there. I'd assume that hosting costs are more there, making it not as profitable.

    But of course, www.fraglider.pt (Portugal) will most likely have one server(maybe more than 1 depends on the community) running this :)
