I agree.  Part of the reason that ICANN is so slow to respond to the
incredible world-wide demand for new top-level domains is in order to keep
the supply of same low, and therefore their value high, so their industry
friends can continue to overcharge for them! Alternative roots such as
New.Net (http://www.new.net), AlterNic (http://www.alternic.org/), etc. came
about in an attempt to fill the vacuume ICANN Is artificially maintaining,
in order to satify consumer demand.

Excellent idea!  Fellow net rebels joining together!  I like it!

BTW, Joe's Resources page (link repeated above) is an excellent list of
these alternative roots!
