Bringing DNS Root Name Servers to the Caribbean

Protection of the Internet’s critical infrastructure is a top priority for the international bodies responsible for managing the Internet. However, important components of key Internet infrastructure are not evenly distributed throughout the world.  Emerging markets in particular are at a disadvantage as critical Internet infrastructure is largely clustered in developed markets. As the Internet continues to grow, the strengthening and self-sufficiency of national Internet infrastructure assets in underserved regions is a major priority within the global Internet community. This is the purpose behind an initiative to proliferate an important facility known as root name servers in the Caribbean.
