<p>The 50^th annivesary of Tanzania’s independence was 
celebrated in style by tzNIC staff as it coincided with the 
commissioning of the F-root Server at Tanzania Network Information 
Centre (tzNIC) offices. The long awaited project commenced on 5^th
 December 2011 and was successfully carried out by Internet Systems 
Consortium’s (ISC) Senior Operations Architect Mr. Peter Losher in 
collaboration with tzNIC technical staff. The availability of the F-root
 server in Tanzania will facilitate the full localization of .tz 
Internet traffic as well as provide resilience, robustness and 
responsiveness of the Domain Name System (DNS).</p>

<p>This milestone comes after tzNIC had achieved the full management 
(redelegation) of the .tz ccTLD and decentralization of .tz registry 
services (through the 3R model) to about  20 accredited registrars. Just
 after commissioning of the F-root server the latency improved to less 
than 10 msec from 200 msec before the installation. </p></td>
