One should perhaps find it ironic that the "freedom" of the information superhighway has a multi-million dollar corporate bottleneck. It's name is VeriSign and it currently controls all .com and .net registrations. While others fight against cyber- and typo-squatting, Verisign is redirected misspelled URLs to a banner-ad studded page on its own servers.

There is a point at which the free market needs regulation: when a private entity controls limited public goods. .com is the transmission band of the new epoch. It should be in the hands of national, and perhaps international, regulators.
