As I understand, KIX is mostly domestic Korea.
Japan has NSPIX3 and JPIX. There is enough
international capacity to house a root server
there. :)
And based on what I have been told, both HKIX and
STIX can be called international. There is a
common error in assuming international = US domestic.
This is false.
Both STIX & HKIX have interconnections to ISPs in
many other nations but not quite the connectivity back
to the US.
