Mixed Feelings

from Esther Dyson (esther@198.143.31.163)
I have very mixed feelings about this question, but I think it's inevitable. Basically, I'd like to see so many that they become meaningless, but there will still be disputes just as there are disputes over trademarks. However, an environment of numerous TLDs would eventually mean that NSI or or its successor would be regulated by the market rather than by ICANN, which would be a good thing.

I won't give examples because I leave that up to the creativity of the market players. I'd like to see them operating with a diversity of business models and rules. I am not sure how they should be allocated/monitored....that's the big question!
