if they have 50% and no IANA blessing they don't exist. but neither of
those is going to happen.
this will all result in lots of wasted money and the acceleration of the
disapperance of many small ISPs. there is a reason UUNet, MCI, Sprint,

isn't because they don't want the money. it's because eDNS is hideously
unwise and destructive.
