One correction to that; F has been operating in India from NIXI Chennai's PoP since 2005.  The reason you may not see 
it from your location in India is that it's a local node, so we advertise F's prefixes with the NO_EXPORT community 
string to limit it's reach to networks directly connected to the local IX/routeserver @NIXI Chennai.

And even with that restriction as noted at APNIC 33 in Dehli, the node is one of our (F's) busiest in Asia...
