Yes.

Umm,,, To be correct, Nationwide IXes in Japan are NSPIXP2,
NSPIXP3, JPIX. NSPIXP3 is located in Osaka.
Yes, M.root-servers.net is on NSPIXP2 and donated transit
through NSPIXP2 by some ISPs. It may be called int'l
capacity. :-)
:| And based on what I have been told, both HKIX and

:|
:| This is false.

Thanks for pointing out. "international" means just the
multi-nationality of participant ISPs, right?
:| Both STIX & HKIX have interconnections to ISPs in

:| to the US.

I see.
