It is the SAHC (Socialist Ad-Hoc Committee) which is going to fragment
the name space. 

If you look at the list from Jon Postel of people who applied for gTLD's 
you see a lot of money there. 

We will use that money to make the SAHC and their bullshit draft 
insignificant. 

I intend to run USA and EARTH as MY EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY and will spend 
EVERY PENNY that I have and will ever earn for the next 40 or so years
left in my life to promote them. 

For instance:
      * Free web space and development services for any non-profit
        which will register exclusivly under USA and EARTH. 
      * $1,000 (this could go up) for any ISP who will agree to include
        our TLD's in their name servers and who will activly promote 
        them to their customers
      * $10,000 to any ISP who will renounce their current .COM/.NET
        domain and register SOLELY under .USA or .EARTH
      * For the larger providers like NETCOM or AOL: a per-hit fee for
        every hit that their servers make on our servers for one of our
        TLDs ($1,000 isnt shit for AOL/Compuserve - they need a bigger
        incentive).

We then have a viable commodity and can sell registrations to others. Like
advertisers, our "circulation" can be easily audited by the various firms
which audit publication circulation rates: We simply give them
a list of the ISP's who have signed on to our proposal, show them the 
contracts and allow them to independently check on these ISP's. 

This policy doesn't break the current DNS, but if others follow, we will 
will have a million little iTLD's out there all independent of the SAHC
and the SANA. This may cause headaches for some people on the internet
and will fragment the DNS.   

You see, there is alot that I (and others) can do. 

Of course, litigation is inevitable as well. We demand access to the root
zone file. It is a public resource and there is no reason we should not be
allowed to list our service marks/trade marks in this file. 

I will expose this "committee" for what it is - a power-hungry socialist
politburo. Our nation destroyed such an organization (USSR) and we can
do it again if need be. All we need is the truth and the money to spread
it. We have both. 

If this fragments the name space, tough shit. 

I will hold off on further action till Jan 31 to see if the SAHC actually
tries to implement this policy of theirs. I am wondering if the ISOC or
Jon Postel might not squash it before it does damage. It goes way beyond
even his own draft policy.
