Alternate Root service providers pay taxes as everybody
else.
Why should they be criminalized by some people, who are eager
to increase
their own power through monopolizing the internet?You may be the typical "extremist"
or lack any technical knowledge to
behave like this in your "ardent" comments. INTERNET:
First
of all there would be no internet without the network
experiences developed in
CERN, Switzerland, either.
In the U.S. the internet was developed mainly for military
reasons. Second of all, the U.S. profit from each registration of a domain
name
under any gtld, no matter where on this world someone decides
to register a domain
name. TAXES
With min. 6$ per each of the 40 Million names, America already
receives
240 Mio $ per year (to a great extend from abroad). That's at least 100 Mio $ taxes
per year. The Internet wasn't nearly as expensive as that. Finally, all this
has nothing to do with ICANNs unfortunate attempt
of grasping power over everybody
and criminalizing most competitors
of their contracted registries. ICANN is
on its way to destabilize the Internet, no matter what they
are claiming. They
are certainly not "stabilizing" it. (... or do you
still believe in the "kings
new clothes"?) This is clearly NOT what ICANN was created for.
