It's a real infrastructure that nobody, barring Eugene's escapade, 
pays any attention to.  All indications were that the eDNS/AlterNIC 
etc names were resolved by less than one percent of the nameservers 
in the world.

You have a physical infrastructure, but so what?  The IAHC Open DNS 
registries have an internationally based legal infrastructure, and 
buyoff from the relevant internet bodies -- IANA, in particular.  

Bottom line is, Marc, the physical infrastructure you talk about is
the trivial part.
