none of the rootops puts our terms of service on the root-servers.org web site, because it might look like advertising. but anyone from isc is happy to talk about it; for example i can say right here right now that we go where we're wanted: we rely on local sponsors. we prefer internet exchanges but we've done some inside-ISP f-root installs when there either isn't a local IX or the ISP is huge. we like to control our own BGP, so the inside-ISP installs will usually not be offered to that ISP's peers or transits, only to their customers. other rootops have their own wonderfully diverse criteria; that's a feature. paul -- "I suspect I'm not known as a font of optimism."
