The cost of deploying an anycast root instance of at least one root server is:

- About US$3000 or so for the hardware
- A rack unit of rackspace, an ethernet connection with unhindered Internet connectivity, and power for the hardware
- Sufficient technical expertise to allow the hardware to announce itself to the routing system

The cost for mirroring the root zone in an ISP's caching server is:

- Sufficient technical expertise to configure a resolver to automatically mirror the root zone
-- or --
- Sufficient technical expertise to copy the root zone and install it by hand.

Pretty much any full-service ISP anywhere in the world can meet either of these requirements.
