    "approved New.net to sell any TRUE TLD strings"
    by Anonymous on Thursday June 23 2005, @07:23AM (#15671)
    "approved New.net to sell any TRUE TLD strings"

    New.Net does not sell TLDs, they facilitate
    *prior-use* on Second-Level-Domain names, SLDs.

    No plug-in is required to access New.Net names.
    See http://www.OPENwrt.org
    Your DNS comes from your WIFI access router.

    ICANN does not create TLDs, they already exist.
    Some are more widely used than others.
    NAME-TLD.com names map to NAME.TLD
    .ONLINE is twice as popular as .INC

    ICANN franchises Registrars and makes a lot of
    money from them, attempting to protect their
    short-lived industry.

    ICANN also baby-sits legacy root server operators
    who can not be trusted and who need to be told
    what TLDs the insiders want to develop. The
    open and free market in the .USA may have a
    different opionion, and consumers just ignore
    the legacy root servers, and ICANN. They like
    their .COM names and their new TLDs.
