can anyone provide such information? in which countries there are the most insufficient nodes. But which countries are the priority.
PS: It also helps if you search the forum and make a post if that information is not available.

If you go to https://storjnet.info/ you can see a map of node locations.
I think adding nodes anywhere that’s not NA or EU will help diversify nodes.

I suspect that in India and Africa, $1.50 per TB will not work. Taking into account their salaries and prices for equipment and the Internet)
It will work if people use S3 or similar cloud storage. And indeed people using them.
Wouldn’t you expect the opposite? The COL and income is lower in those places. The median monthly salary in India is something around 330 USD.
I recall mobile internet (unfortunately CG-NAT) is more abundant there than a wired connection however.
There’s also a factor of IP address space allocated there. We’ve discussed this in the past: StorjNet - Nodes - #10 by Toyoo
Raising hand. Panamá here 
if you really need central and south I can reach everywhere from Panama. starting small but have tons of space available when it is needed. Hit me up if you need more professional space

We need mostly a public resources there so far (so all restrictions are applied).
However, if your data center is certified and you have a certification as well, you may submit for a Commercial Nodes program:

Yeah public is what i am interested in. I can spread my harddrives all over the place. Datacenter is cool but I would need to see some kind of stats and very short term projections before applying.

Then you may start small: run the first node, then add a new node with an own disk, when the first one almost filled or at least vetted.
