Even though the AFNIC monopoly, for example, has 99.99 % of the
TLD domain market in France and Network Solutions may have that
0.01% ?  And, even though the national PTT monopoly has recently
become a registrar for COM, NET, and ORG?  That's a very interesting
anticompetitive perspective the EU takes.  It must be what makes
Europe so strongly competitive and a leader in the Internet field.
