I think these two new options are for use with the new network acceleration service that the JK folks after in the process of rolling out (in the next 4-6 weeks according to their last email update). Right now I think they're just place holders.
Currently JK uses peer to peer connections between all members in a session. The new service, as I understand it, will follow a client-server model using network acceleration through global providers. Amazon and Akamai are two such providers of these kinds of services. Of course JK has to design the backend server side of this and it has to be scalable and be globally available in order to provide reasonable latency connectivity to participating session players.
Of course I could be partially or completely wrong about any or all of this but it's the best I could put together given what little we've been told.
