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.
