I disagree. The current arrangement of increasing registrars looks alot like a multi level marketing scam. Basically the goal is to squeeze every penny out of the dot.com universe. It' don't wash. Users want *.choice in their tlds. The whole idea behind tlds are to establish simple nameing conventions which give users of domains an internet precense. unfortunately there's not much choice in the existing USG root infrastructure. Users are by their nature creative when it comes to naming concervtions and i'm sure they would have more fun in the alt.universes then they do in the USG system. Unfortunately the USG is not very creative in this regard. regards joe
