hi all,
this seems like especially interesting reading for those of us who are based outside North America and Europe. it would be helpful to go a little deeper than this analysis and get a better feel for things like latency and congestion. it would also be interesting to understand some of the deeper/historical rate-of-change rates (for example change in users vs change in root-servers over time).
