Subject:	So, what do you propose?
Message:
A system where multiple people can fight over .com registrations? By the way, for the confused: There is competition for who gets to be in charge of a TLD. The difference between that and the sort of competition Kodo is talking about is that competition for sole control ensures that the organization taking care of the TLD does its job (so that it can re-compete next time), and competition among many providers for .com / .net / .org names would tear the Internet apart. So, Kodo- who would YOU have be in charge of making sure that multiple people don't register the same .com name?

• There isn't any. This is one of the (few) places that shouldn't be controlled by pure capitalism. — Slicer, June 1, 2001 @ 5:03 AM (1/5)
