I must change my encyclopedia.
I looked up the definition for America and among the description was "Free Market
Economy" and we have this rather shady ICANN-VeriSign deal for another four years.
Why only have one TLD controlling enterprise? Should we not have at least three
or four - isn't that what markets and competition is about? Don't come up with any
weak excuses about 'possible conflict where three different companies fight over
registering the same .com address' - designing a name reservation and control system
would be about the simplest piece of software you could write - and share over the
'net.
Still, I ought not to be surprised - America is the company that invented
the board game 'Monopoly'
