I would have thought that if NSI applied to be a registrar and won the lottery, they would be a 900 pound gorilla compared to the 2-3 man operations currently gearing up to be registrars. If I was management I would see golden opportunities by having a bunch more gTLDs open up and operations ready to handle 100,000 applications in a week. Even if I lost - I could become an outsourcer for those that win - providing technical consulting and backoffice operations support. If I was a stock holder with SIAC I would be quite annoyed by now by their company losing out on a potential golden egg that they have a leg up on. > > Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting > Memra Software Inc. - Fax: +1-250-546-3049 > http://www.memra.com - E-mail: [email protected] > Hank Nussbacher IAHC member [the views expressed above belong to the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the other IAHC members] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
