So, what is wrong with .ibm, .att, .ford, .etc?
Lets cede all famous names to have TLD registries, and reserve the TLD
space for them. Then they can mount thier TLD if they want to step up
to the reguirements of running a TLD service for themselves.
This requires a lasrger commitement than to just get an SLD.
Specifically, it means committing to collaboration with all other TLD
registries to coordinate the ROOT. And perhaps to also run a
Secondary ROOT server;-)...
