Is the .to (Tonga) domain completely rogue and should be removed?

Apparently you've never seen www.nunames.nu?  It made quite a lot of news when
it came out.

This has been going on for quite a while, it's odd that you should bring it up
now.  You might also want to check out http://www.nic.cc.  I'm sure a host of
others will be springing up in no time.

BTW I happen to think those .to forwarder domains are ultra cool, I found
http://easy.to/remember the other day and I thought it was an exteremely good
idea...

By "legit" do you mean its purpose is to operate a business or other
entity organized within the Kingdom of Tonga?
