Isn't this just the perfect opportunity to re-root DNS. It seems as if the whole ICANN/NetworkSolutions mess seems to be a steaming pile of s**t as far as a lowly internet user like me can tell (One whose hard won ICANN vote was ignored...) If enough large ISP's, say AOL, Earthlink, etc. could be convinced to point to OpenNIC and peer's servers (http://www.opennic.unrated.net/) wouldn't this whole thing be moot? Within that structure we could vote to retain all ICANN addresses except silly ones like *.com.
