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, 
and the rest of the big boys haven't started running eDNS servers and it 
isn't because they don't want the money.  it's because eDNS is hideously 
unwise and destructive.
