I disagree. The worlds changed. I appreciate your position and what your
saying. But you have to see the corporate angle here. The question is,
would running the internet be a good thing and how much are they willing
to pay for the concession?
Look at the lower end of the corporate margin players in dns. That
company, that is willing to pay NSI a flat rate of $18 to give you a free
domain name in return for sending you advertising, is going to make a
bundle. Internet advertising is a very messy and mixed up market, and a
captive audience is costs.
So based on those minimum expectations, how much is too much too run the
world. If PCCF can accomplish it's goals, alots of dns administrators are
going to make a pretty penny in all of this.

Were on top of it greg. This month will be dns admin empowerment month.
Were even putting Mr. Roberto Shaw aside for a bit. He'll have to wait
until we finish the job. I very curious to see what happens when 109,000
system administrators find out their being shafted, but there are options.
