That's a cheap sneer, and not an awfully accurate one. Chrysler and
Rolls-Royce are now German. General Motors may be Japanese any day now. And
that's just machinery.
It wasn't too long ago that a bunch of good ol' boys in Malaysia came within
an ace of snapping up British Telecom. (An oddity: my eldest daughter spends
her spare time commuting around to see her friends from Japanese and New
Zealand school days; her time seems to be spent mostly in Malaysia and
Spain. I'm sure I'll be the last to learn the details...) Tetley Tea
returned to India this week. As The Economist slugged it: the Empire Strikes
Back.
The Li family of Hong Kong have the assets to step in and rewire Europe --
or Africa, or wherever -- any time they find the environment right, and
there are probably dozens like them. I know three.
The idea that white, English-speaking, males run the joint is so laughable
that -- well, I'm smiling even at the CRT.

We need to distinguish between the physical pathways of the
Internet and the historic concept of the Internet as a means
of freedom of speech and communication.
Companies do and should own the pathways, but humanity should
own the essential nature of the 'Net, like radio airwaves.
You 'Net hero experts would help us proletarians out
by letting us in, Mr. Richard Sexton, on just *why* you
would be called a raving lunatic if you disclosed how the
US Government controls all the foreign root servers.
Please let us plebeians know what the acronyms mean:
IANA -- Internet Assigned Names Authority?
ICANN -- Internet Corp. for Assigned Names & Numbers?
ITU -- International Telecommunications Union?
WIPO -- World Intellectual Property Organization?
We get the feeling you guys are all rolling the dice with our future.
http://www.geocities.com/mentifex/tld.html is my transparent
attempt to whet people's appetite for Top Level Domains.
Before he passed away, did the great Jonathan Postel really
call for the creation of three hundred (330) TLD's?
Please, I am collecting for the above site some listings
of new TLD and other Internet name registrars. Can people
please post here, or e-mail to me, such URL's? Thank you.
Richard J. Sexton
>call for the creation of three hundred (330) TLD's?
I'm too lazy to look for the email where he said 300. He'd
backed off a bit by the time he wrote this:
http://www.newdom.com/archive/draft-postel-iana-itld-admin-01.txt
5.6. It is estimated that approximately thirty (30) new iTLDs
allocated to approximately ten (10) new registries will be created
per year. It is expected that this will continue for the next
five years - unless something significant happens to change this
plan.
In this first year of this plan significantly more new iTLDs and
registries may be chartered, perhaps up to one-hundred-fifty (150)
iTLDs allocated to up to fifty (50) registries.

Trillions, Jay?
Net of depreciation and profits I would guess that total spending over the
last sixty years might be in the region of $1.98 -- if it is a positive
number.
More likely the numbers went the other way: the trillions came out of the
taxpayer, through the government, and into the hands of the good thoughtful
engineers who built the whole shebang. E.g., the last time I looked at IBM's
cumulative service, back in the late sixties, it turned out that about 53%
of every dollar they had ever gotten came from the government. They sold a
ton of shit to the North American Air Defense Command, a boondoggle if there
ever was one, but they never did much for people in real life. (That's how
DEC got off the ground, sorta by acting like an IBM of real life.)
One other thing, Jay, your cheap sneer at left wingers who think about the
whole human race. The unification of the planet came about roughly between
1750 and 1890 through the work of exactly Whigs: radical humanist,
cosmopolitan, universalist, well, uh, revolutionaries. They, or I aspire to
say we, created the United States of America, through the worm-hole into a
nation-state based on decency. They, together with their colleagues on the
Continent, and a few in China, Arabia and India, started out on modern
science.
The people who did this were the left-wingers of their days. The surviving
Huguenots had arrived in England after their friends and families had been
put on ships set afire in the rivers of the authoritarian France of their
time. (Holocaust: the outdoor sport the whole bigot family can enjoy.) The
Americans, similarly, came into existence as a separate people through their
opposition to the stupider of the English -- and Austrian, and Russian, and
Papal States, and... people.
* * *
To return to the original point. the Internet was created by left-wingers in
the US government with the assistance of like-minded people mainly in
Britain, but also elsewhere. It is a creation of that part of the Kennedy
Administration who felt that the world should be freer and more open than it
had been. It is egalitarian, public, open, anti-authoritarian, inquisitive,
empirical, and ethical. These are left-wing values.
The Web is a socialist plot.

Belonged, and the US Government, you mean.
The net belonged to the USG at a time when governments everywhere
were selling off everything their well-connected friends could make
a profit from. About the only thing remaining in government hands
now is ICANN, which is rigged to favor the moneyed interests, but
still tries to appear to be fairer than some of the (badly designed
and stupidly implemented) previous attempts to convert the root into
a leasespace.
The Human Race, as a whole, doesn't care; The people who do care
are making their million on the information superhighway right now,
or being shunted off into the kook drawer now that they've outlived
their usefulness.

I guess you missed it, so I'll spell it out for you. There are things in
the list for biz. and inc. but nothing for sa. or any other business
form that is commonly found outside of North America. Nothing that would
be common terminolgy for french or german either, nevermind mandarin or
arabic. If the Internet is for the entire "human race" then any new
domain naming structure probably ought to support names that most of
them will understand.
Adding 150 english-speaking, NA-centric top-level domains isn't going to
do anything for anybody except possibly line the pockets of whatever new
registrars are "chosen" by the scheme-of-the-week.
I'd rather see a more global approach is all.

what, no bsd? Shame on you!
On a more serious note, I sincerely hope that the schemes like this do
not succeed.
The DNS namespace pollution is bad enough as it is (with .dk and .no
companies for some strange reason registering American Samoa domains
and all). Despite recent abuse, the existing TLD structure is fairly
sane and mostly based something most of us agree upon, namely on
geography.
Screaming on the top of your lungs,
"I DO NOT HAVE A CLUE AND I DON'T EVEN WANT TO RENT ONE!!!!"

Actually it's an ontology, not a taxonomy. But no, you don't want

".com" is now annoyingly omnipresentt, and carries little information

Impossible. To do so is to force the companies that own the physical
infrastructure to operate in an environment full of stultifying government
regulation, something that will destroy it in a thoroughly misguided attempt

It means "which has been demonstrated" and was coined by smarmy Romans

Didn't you forget:
zzz New TLD proposals and other boring topics

Speaking of it, why not just create *all* three-letter domains
(there are only 17576 of them after all) and let everyone decide
themselves in which of them they want to register their 2nd level
