[At-Large] Interesting article on new domain demand

[Lance Hinds]

Well Evan, like you have argued before this is clearly an up-market
activity where only the big boys are playing. Who knows, maybe they have
worked out innovative ways to develop new revenue streams. It will be
interesting to watch. Again my one comment is that it is unfortunate that
businesses outside of North America/Europe have no chance of participating
in this because of the cost.

As we say in the Caribbean, "An' so it does go sometimes"
