Well, ICANN has come pretty close to delegating .HOME and .CORP to domain
speculators, despite the vast amount of informal use which would get badly
screwed up.
Like I said, I look forward to the ITU equitably delegating domain names
and IP addresses. Sorry the US has enough names already, the next ten
million go to underserved areas. And since we know that phone numbers
work great with per-country prefixes, we're going to improve the DNS so
domain names always start with the country code.
R's,
John
