Note, the .US TLD is not subject to the ICANN
price fixing. The U.S. Department of Commerce
handled the entire re-delegation process, without
an auction. They mostly were cleaning up the
academic mess that Jon Postel created in .US.
DOD-linked insiders were handed the task.
There is apparently no "floor". Note, the Registry
and Registrars do not appear to be able to give
the SLD.US names away, at any price. The .USA TLD
would be much more desirable and provide true
competition for .US. Even though ICANN claims to
have a mission to promote competition, everyone
can now see, that! is not the case.
It would be interesting to ask each of the
Presidential Candidates whether they favor the
addition of the .USA TLD in a public debate.
Maybe people should make some simple signs and
hold them up at the various rallies. Can you
imagine each of the candidates retiring to their
campaign headquarters to ask the staff what
the signs mean ?

If you want a .USA domain, to go www.adns.net. They've had that TLD available for many years.
