No,
On the contrary.
I support eDNS because it is a good (not great) free market model. The only domain I expect to recover costs on perhaps is ".sex". The only people who will make money on domains already have.
heck, why not have free market frequency band allocation? why not IP address allocation? sometimes it is better NOT to have a free market model. this is such a case. were any of those 400 trademarks, patens, and copyrights issued by a private organization, or by a single office in the US or canada?
It is kinda like finding a new playground without any real rules. Things should be allowed to evolve. I cannot see any real value in people signing up "yourname"@isp.z. Vanity is not an industry.
evolution is fine and the IAHC and IANA were and are addressing these issues. unconstrained evolution in this case is bad because people depend on the stability of global naming. why is that so difficult to see?
It is cute but it has more to do with soveriegn rights.
Really, I am not in it for the bucks cause it just is not there. I will answer truthfully anyone who does not believe me.
this is either tremendous ignorance or tremendous bullshit. this much time and effort would not be invested if there were not a big payoff.
This has more to do with internet and the future world goverance.
so you are an anarchist?
THINK ABOUT IT - - - ?
i am. now you try.

you hav eno interest in better serving your customers, enhancing the stability of the internet, or any of the other ethical goals to which you have alluded. you are only in it for the money.
and before you go slamming vix's motivations, why don't you check who wrote the name service software you are writing.
