<P>Roberto and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; You are essentially correct in as far as you response goes.&nbsp; 
What's left out on otherwise not</P>
<P>mentioned in your reponse is that in the bargin NSOL got .COM in perpatuity 
with .ORG and</P>
<P>.NET to be reassinged AND most importantly ICANN bacame the end collector of 
part of</P>
<P>the Domain Name registration fees that were charged.&nbsp; Later, NSOL was 
able to get part of</P>
<P>tha contractual bargin changed allowing them to raise registration prices 
arbitrarly over a</P>
<P>given period of time (years) that the Internet community did not have 
consensus on.<BR><BR><BR></P>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Then came the coup that dispossessed them, usurped this right 
and gave it to the registries. Domains then became a "right or licence to 
temporarily use" as long as payment was made to a registrar or a "thick" TLD 
registry.&nbsp; ICANN was born around this time.<SPAN

for a domain name under .com, 30% of which of tax. The tax was later lifted, 
but the $35 remained until ICANN introduced the separation between registry and 
registrar&nbsp;that made the prices drop.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
