  Huh?  What town under discussion?  You lost me there.  Any business
would be illegal IF it didn't have a proper business lic. if one was required.
Different states, as well as municipalities have different legal requirements.

  Ah, ok very different criterion than.  Hosting as to local, again depends
as to legality of content available, on the country and state/province in
which the actual hosting is.  But again, hosting is also irrelevant to a lessor

degree admittedly, as again the access would be global.  Now if you were
talking about an IntrAnet or and ExtrAnet, that where such limited access
domain names are IS or could be relevant depending on how limited those
*networks* were in respect to national boundaries or boarders, AND IF
those DN's were accessible by the public Internet via a gateway server
or other gateway hardware or even software.  My company specializes in
this technology for secure networks for instance...  Another potential and
existing example would be other root servers structures OR additionally
and perhaps separately, but not necessarily so, other non-compatable
for data exchange or transmit, other IP ( as in TCP/IP ) protocols.  IPv9
for instance, * instead of*  IPv4 or IPv6.  Note however:  We have been
working on inter operability of IPv9 too either IPv4 or IPv6.  So even
IPv9 may at some point not be an exception.  Given 64 bit architecture,
it won't be long and no currently known or even experimental IP based
architecture will be *stand alone* operationally or compatibly speaking.
