Re: Concern about gTLD servers in India

[Anurag Bhatia <me () anuragbhatia com>]

I am sure few of people here have experience of running root servers.

Can someone share if there's huge difference in . root servers Vs gTLD
servers? I understand that root only hold all TLD's  - cc and gTLD
delegation that would be few hundred TLDs delegation while gTLDs hold lot
of domain names but if one country has root, what prevents having gTLD
also? Certainly bit more hardware, storage and processing power but such
facilities are available mostly say in India & South Africa which have
significant number of big telcos.
