Let A Million Flowers Blossum

 The current situation where one organization
 monopolizes Domain name registration is fast
 coming to a close. One way or another the people
 who use this media will set up alternate domain
 registries... as alternic has done. It is very
 inevitable and quite positive.

 There will be many kinds of New domain name
 registries... I would say there should be no
 limitations on this pseudo-commodity. Except
 for a central, co-operative meta-register the
 field should be left open for all to do as they
 please. First come, first serve. No holds barred.

 And what will emmerge is a plethora of new
 services worldwide. And there will be a period
 of uncertainty. And changes will occur in the
 future as well. The world is a huge place no one
 group can control or even moderate.

 This seems to be the only "alternative" to
 either an insurrection or the continuing chaos
 of an inadeqate monopoly. To try and regulate
 this crazy den of snakes is sheer madness. We
 must let a million flowers blossum... or they
 will blossum anyways and we will look stupid.
