You mentioned in a previous message that "the cost of managing the
assigned number space is considerable."
I'll bite -- why is it so expensive? I would have thought that the
cost for maintaining a name registry was mostly fixed -- 2-3 people
plus a computer. Are they high enough to justify fees like $3500
from ANSI for X.500 name registration?
