Huh?

The Internet means that a one man shop in the High Hill of Arkansas can
compete globally with the might of IBM. We don't need offices with the
Internet.

Are you implying that registries need an office in each country that they
accept registrations from?

Look at NSI. One web page, and all that .com cash. Single Registrar ( NSI)
and they do have a MEANINGFUL International presence.

Try that again.... :-)
