>so I believe that all generic Internet users understand that IOD deserves of .web
.< You're a funny guy. 99% of Internet users don't even know about this whole
situation, and most of them wouldn't care either way. All I know is that on Day
1 I want to be able to choose a registrar based on price. I can't do that with IOD,
because they're the only registrar and I know I'm going to have to pay them $35 (which
includes a ridiculous $15 registry fee). At least with Afilias, I can chose from
a number of different registrars, some of whom will be competing on the basis of
price. And I know that on Day 1 I don't want to be unable to register a new domain
because of technical glitches due to the massive rush to register. Based on the information
in the applications, I don't believe that any of the applicants will be able to handle
the demand from a rush. At least with Afilias, they'll be using a round robin system
to deal with the demand and keep everything stable. I guess you could call me a
"generic Internet user." I don't work for a registrar or applicant, and I'm don't
have any investments in them. All I want is choice, price competition and a solid
system. If it takes a company like Afilias, made up of the largest .com registrars,
to offer that to me, I'm going to support them.
