I'm not going to say that i fully comprehend what are the issues here.But this i do understand - the root servers originally belonged of all people to the DoD and when they were transferred the ppl who used to run it came attached (does remind one of IE 4). Thier mentality is the same as that of govt. people all over - it does'nt matter how well it runs or how efficient it is it runs ok so dont mess with it and dont mess with us. In India we had till 6 months back only one ISP a govt. company - that meant waiting 25 mins to login & to stay connected for 5 mins.Today we have 20 ISP's and suddenly i have a new digtial dial in line, i can stay connected for hours on end & i have plenty of other things. Toss out ICANN & InterNIC get everyone in let's see what happens.
