I agree with you - ICANN has got us in a 'crooked' mess.But Greg is correct -
New.net is the wrong way to go.
They are only concerned with the profit margin.
Many
others are bound to go into competition with New.net - in 200+ countries.
It will
depend on your browser plug-in / ISP as to which site you will go to.
You will
also have e-mail arriving to the wrong people.
Chaos is sure to come.
The only
solution is to get rid of the unelected members of ICANN - they and their predecessors
are responsible for the 'crooked' mess we are in.
