I support eDNS because it is a good (not great) free market model.
The IANA is supporting the model in which anyone who wants to may operate a registration service, competing freely with everyone else to register names in any of the generic TLDs -- customers may freely move from registrar to registrar, all the while keeping their names. Mr. Hurst is supporting a model in which people get assigned monopolies over particular TLDs. I will leave it to the reader to decide if Mr. Hurst's usage of the word "free market" is appropriate for his model, and if the model supported by the IANA is "anti-competitive", as Mr. Hurst's buddies are fond of claiming.
