Dear Sir (I would prefer to call you by name, but you have not provided it) -Please
note that the Eastern US backup facility is for the registry services, not DNS services.
We have contracted with UltraDNS for DNS services. UltraDNS provides global data
centers for DNS services. As the Internet is a global network, the location of the
actual registry center is immaterial. We chose to place both centers in the United
States for ease of access.
As to your concerns about marketing, we chose to begin
with the United States and Canada, as it is the market we know best. Plans call for
extended marketing, world wide, shortly thereafter. We felt, however, that marketing
was only a small part of the application, as the key concerns of stability and competition
far outweigh any marketing plans we might have.
I hope I have addressed your concerns.
