I think that connectivity is critically important for a digital nomad, that it requires it’s own section (maybe #8).
This would include research on the availability of Internet in the target areas in sufficient bandwidth, the reliability of the service and associated costs, alternatives such as mobile data, WiFi hotspots, terrestrial broadband (cable, fibre, etc), and also possible cafes, libraries and office locations where one could also get access of needed, or if ones primary location or base becomes unavailable or problematic.
Also don’t forget related critical issues such as reliable power, and related to this, the ability to get service for damaged equipment, replacement power bricks for laptops, for instance.
