What's wrong with being U.S.-centric? While use of the net is growing in other countries, the U.S. is still the place where the most traffic originates/terminates, and since this is the *North American* list, it stands to reason that issues in the U.S. portion of the system will get more play here. No, I don't have any statistics,and I'm too lazy to go suss around for them - maybe .edu is higher than .org. .com & .net are definitely the top two, though. Austin Schutz wrote:

Do you have statistics to back up the 'three most widely-used TLDs' statement?
According to www.netsizer.com, org isn't even in the top ten. I'm not sure upon what they base their data, but I was unable to find evidence to the contrary.

Hearing anything from netsol before they try to break stuff is both novel and (personally speaking) quite welcome, particularly given the grief they've been given for staying silent about everything in the past.
Makes a pleasant change from bitching about ORBS, anyway.
And anything with IANAL anywhere in the message body. My point was that assuming that org is the third largest TLD reinforces the u.s.-centric belief that the non-u.s. world is insignificant with respect to domain usage.

p.s. yes I'm aware this message body contains IANAL.
