Those are probably the best known public DNS servers on the 'net.  My 
memory is a little fuzzy but from what I remember reading years back, 
they were some of the original DARPA DNS servers.  They then got passed 
between several network companies, always remaining public.  At some 
point, they were owned by Verizon and Level 3... one or both might still 
own them.

They've been popular for several reasons:
1. Public
2. Very fast
3. Been around possibly since before the Internet was the Internet
