NSI needs to be fired for abusing our resources, in my opinion.
Poppycock! If you really believed this then you would be writing paper letters and sending them via snail mail to your reps in Washington, to the NSF and to the Department of Commerce. How on earth can the government continue to issue the contract for such a critical infrastructure component to a company that has proven itself, time and time again, to be incompetent, both technically and at the managerial level? There must be some kind of Washington backroom dealings or bribery going on. Any one of the major Internet backbone providers could do a better job than NSI. And maybe it's about time that backbone providers band together and create a consortium that could take over this responsibility from the government since backbone providers have the proven operational expertise to run such infrastructure. This includes the root nameserver system and the registration database backend for generic TLDs and the whois system. -- Michael Dillon - E-mail: michael () memra com Check the website for my Internet World articles - http://www.memra.com
