Not at all, no chaos, never. New.net just will disappear in that day,
that's all. I don't believe that any ISP wish to support fake
root instead of real and working.
Well, nothing wrong in selling not existing things, if
there is enough rednecks ready to spend money for that :)
Everyone can do that - sell names within their local network,
you don't even need TLD for them - domain JonSmith sounds much
better that JonSmith.family. Only one question is how big that
local network, nothing else.
But i believe that new.net will lost all their 53M+ potential
customers in one day - day when someone (ICANN or whoever)
make .shop and .kids worldwide accessible via normal DNS.
Anyway, these things will never work all over the world,
at least i'm 100% sure that it will fail in Russia and Ukraine,
so nobody care, except those rednecks, but, to be honest,
$25 it's small fee for such good lesson.
