What I can't understand is why you didn't start your program with a
"per.com" or a "per.net" to get exactly the same result. Ah, I missed that,
they are both taken... tsk. Hey! You've got "per.org" available!!!
Wouldn't your company have been more succesful if you had just tried for
pushing your ideas using a standard SLD (which is what you seem to want to
do now with the Tonga TLD)? Then again maybe you gained a lot of exposure
through your pushing .per, though the usefulness for your customers until
now is certainly an interesting question.

If you are now turning at registering in all the ISO-TLDs you can, I'm sure
the guys from netnames can help you (per.gp & per.mq for the record are
currently still available).

Yours, John Broomfield.
