My goodness, a P.T. Barnum for the 21st Century. (suckers and all that) Anybody that is willing to say with a straight face that piling more sales organizations onto the same product represents any kind of competition is either deluded or one of the world's greatest con artists. Talk about newspeak! If you want a regulated distribution channel for a single product then say so. Calling this competition is the most outrageous abuse of the term that I have ever seen. It has me absolutely disgusted. In low moments I believed some people would spout any kind of crap as long as it served their purpose. Now I know that to be true. Damned lies. And these people are supposed to have some credibility.

"These companies are ready, willing, and able to compete. ICANN is committed to working with the United States Government, the testbed participants, and all post-testbed registrars to launch this program successfully."
