[ispcp] distribution of root servers to internet-users, worldwide

[tony holmes]

Hi Mikey

The good news I guess is that the distribution is improving, however the
current state of play will certainly fuel arguments from those governments
who feel they're still getting a poor deal.

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).
