The more I look at this the more it looks like an good old fasioned root hijack. The difference this time is they already have the network of servers, and they already have some ISPs lined up.
Uh, yah. That was my point re: masses, etc. We apparently have different assumptions implicit in "adding any new TLDs". Root servers, like rule of law, is a consensual social delusion. I'm not one that likes to limit my reachability, so from my perspective no, they aren't added and I only see them through the subdomains of new.net. Interesting how aware they are of their present lack of critical mass; see their explicit instructions for non-windoze OS users. They don't ask end-users to add their servers in, but rather to simply extend their resolver search to look under new.net.
