UltraDNS runs a few of the root DNS servers, and they also provide this service. We looked at it a while ago at my company, but decided paying for two geographically separate datacenters was just too expensive for us at the time. THe UltraDNS service was far cheaper than Akamai, though. UltraDNS could be interested in providing geographic service to something like pool.ntp.org, if only to have a case study to show how well their service scales. Unfortunately, my contact there is no longer with the company, so I can't offer much in the way of relationship-building.
