Subject:	.com monopoly goes to .web!
Message:
This makes me sick! If icann chooses Afilias, all hope of competition at the registry level will be gone forever. Since Afilias has companies worth more than $15,000,000,000.00 (15 billion) and already controls 98% of the internet registrations, own's GreatDomains and Afternic (promoting domain reselling!), NSI squats on names that should be rereleased into the open market, customer service is so bad (a non monopoly would be out of business), Ken Stubbs & company with their wallet open for more! more! more!. I think they should get .web   That will help competition...HA! Afilias filed an application with inside knowledge, of course it tells you what you want to hear icann. If you must choose Afilias for anything.....please do not give them .web, the only competition for .com Steve Arnold
