120K domains - basically cnnic seems to have finally got tired of russian botmaster types registering thousands of domains at a time, and put in a rule that says you need business registration in China / ID in china to register a .cn Beyond that, that's one ccTLD - however large. There are multiple gTLDs that have already done a great job of cleanup (biz, info for example) and so far I haven't heard of .us having an infestation of botmasters / spammers. And of course there are all the registrars out there that need to be reached out to / handled etc etc - but that's another kettle of fish. We're discussing two different things here - apples and oranges, though it does look like they're all part of the same fruit salad. 1. Action by different registrars / registries [in .cn's case, a government controlled registry, to be sure] 2. State policy to route internet access and DNS through an inspecting + rewriting firewall that blocks or replaces politically unacceptable content --srs On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 11:17 AM, Randy Bush <randy () psg com> wrote:
china nukes 120,000 domains for going against the policy of the state. oops! that wasn't china, was it? perhaps, we should postpone telling others what to do until our side of the street is clean? randy
