Does anyone know why IANA has assigned NS and A records to the example.{com,org,net,...} domains? They even put up a website at the IP explaining RFC 2606. because they are owned by the IANA.
pedantic point:
no, they are not 'owned' by anybody. they are *reserved*, and should not be used by anybody.

Ok... IANA has paid the registration fees for those domains in the past, I have no idea what the current situation is. Now I know that paying for something does not always equate to ownership, but that is a common perception. as usual, YMMV. --bill
