on being "an entrapeneur wanting to make a lot
of money". Some people probably do, while others
hum the cost recovery mantra.Shared/non-shared, registry/registrar vs. peered registry,
non-profit/for-profit/low-profit...
it's a big mix and there's a lot of permutations
and combinations. Again, all the world's not
.com and there are too many applications of the
DNS to be covered under a single homogensous model,
no matter how well it may or may not work for .com.
Very true Richard, and it is my belief that most folks following
these discussions for even a short time realize it as well. Well
hell, even old Vinton Cref (Wooops for got to copy him on this post)
seems to be fond of .MARS for instance. And why not. It
really is
mostly a matter of getting to the point of HOW we implement or want
to see new gTLD's made available so that we can have a multiple
solar system DNS universe (No pun intended there Vinton, old boy).
We do have a multiple country an government world don't we
after all? Why not than, multiple registries, Root's and Root
structures
that are interconnected? Doesn't this just provide for more and
potentially better opportunities?
