Tony,
You AOL argument is as disingenuous as your argument on the internic hosted
list that NSI does not have a monopoly because 80 ccTLDs permit global
registratins.
AOL names within it's own network, and as such, none of this discussion is
affected by that.
Please Tony, stop trying to obfuscate the issues and get out from behind that
NSI retainer.
We are dealing with REAL issues here.
