Glad you like that one Roberto. The one I like is the apparant
paradox that is ICANN had done what it was supposed to and coordinated
technical functions there'd be about 100 new tlds in the root,
NSI would have real compettion and would be a helluva lot more
willing to throw in a buck a name. And prices would be lower
overall.
Instead we have government mandated middlemen. no ralprice
decrease and if you listen very closely you can hear the sound
of an axe falling aimed at a couple of cctlds giving less
tlds rather than more, exclusion of individuals and
sufficient gerrymandering to keep portfolios filled
for years.
I havn't seen mush opposition to a membership fee though.
