Re: ISO 3166 recomendations.

[Kevin Brown <kevinbr@netcomm.ie>]

Simon,

If they set there own policy on DNS, why don't they set there own policy on
IP space? Either someone controls  . and you have to agree on who get under
. or not. Yo cannot have two seperate classes of TLDs. No country owns the
Internet, and no country own the IP space, and why should any one country
have any policy , and be allowed under . ?
