AFAIK, SAIC does not publish financial results for its subsidiaries, nor do those subsidiaries publish breakdowns of the finances of specific projects. It is possible to determine the rough amount of revenues received for domain registrations by looking at the number of new domains registered and total domains being administered, and also by looking at was been accrued into the infrastructure account. The last semingly credible number I read put the DNS *revenues* at less than half what has been quoted as *profits*. -- Jim Browning ---------- From: Dirk Harms-Merbitz[SMTP:dirk () power net] Sent: Saturday, March 29, 1997 2:08 PM To: Jim Browning Cc: 'Ehud Gavron'; nanog () merit edu Subject: RE: ARIN is A Good Thing What are the actual numbers?

IF ARIN means that IP pays for IP and the DNS funds are unfettered, then that $60M profit (in one year) would be much more than $60M.As has been pointed out, the numbers you are quoting are fictitious.. -- Jim Browning
