Re: Some more info on Goggle DNS & some speed tests said by ReVeLaTeD:Ideally I would love a situation where name resolution isn't provided by an ISP or other company. Here is the problem. Somebody has to run the root servers. And, if you run your own DNS server, you can't run it as "authoritative" for any domain, save your own. If you don't have a domain, you can't run authoritative DNS.
Everybody hitting the root servers probably doesn't scale. And somebody has to run authoritative DNS for the various domains out there. So DNS will always have to be run by some company; or, perhaps, government agency (assumes you can place greater faith in government than business; but both are "corporations", in a sense, with their own interests ahead of anybody else's interests).
