Begin forwarded message: From: "Michael O'Dell" <mo () ccr org> Date: July 2, 2009 9:52:36 AM EDT To: David Farber <dave () farber net> Subject: ICANN, WeKant, etc, etc The point everyone is missing about DNS is that there is *NO* need any longer for *ANY* "gTLDs". the technology out there today is capable of supporting a completely flat namespace. it could all be simple strings, with no string being more equal than any other. as we have seen demonstrated so compellingly, the effect of structure in DNS has been to create artificial value which then gets sliced-up and "monetized". After the initial creation of a synthetic command economy, everyone wishing to play cites "free market" dogma to assert their divine right to a monopoly just like everyone else has. Not even George Orwell foresaw such brilliant use of Doublespeak. -mo ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
