Anyone that want a root server can contact many of the root server
operators, including Netnod, that are happy to deploy one or many in
your country. We have all different models for how this is done. We
(Netnod) locate root servers at neutral IX:es, and co-locate with the
TLDs that we run DNS for (mainly ccTLDs). Other root servers do things
differently.

I.e. getting a root server somewhere is easy, in many cases easier than
to get a TLD server.
