> 1) I don't see why ubiquity is necessary
Because the DNS is supposed to be managed for the benefit of the public.
It's the same reason that .CANON and other single-registrant domains are a
bad idea.
> 2) Did you actually watch the video?
No, I'd rather do arithmetic on verifiable facts. I also have to wonder
about .ASIA's long term viability. If they have under 200K domains, since
their registry fee is $10, their annual revenue is under $2M. They
probably pay half of that to Afilias to manage the registry, and you can't
pay much of a staff on under $1M/yr.
R's,
John
