This is just another example of a virtual monopoly doing whatever them
damn well please because .... THEY CAN.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but we in the Inclusive Namespace
have been saying this all along.

How about a world with 1000's of TLDs all operated by different people
with NO restrictions imposed by a monopoly-supporting politburo (ICANN).

Then things would be a million times worse. At least thankfully we
have a monopoly regulator which _can_ force Verisign to undo the damage.

Your world would only promote registrars doing whatever they please.

Thankfully, for yet another reason, you aren't in control.
