So what? We're talking about the root zone, not about ".com".
I know you weren't serious, but at it's uncompressed size in 1999 it
would be bandwidth cost efficient to send the root file to someone
only if they were to perform approximately 6.3 million queries per
version of root file
Are *you* serious? The root zone is 62459 bytes, uncompressed. This is
a few hundreds of typical DNS requests.
(which would of course become outdated during transfer).
Again, you're not serious. The root zone is modified every two-three
days in average.
