[governance] Can Icann really be necessary?

[Imran Ahmed Shah]

Yes you are right, but even now the same theme can be applied as 
.online
so your business on UK and its consumers may enjoy email or web-portals with 
uk.online
other may have
us.online, pk.online, 

but this may also have other alternate usage as well,
me.online, ibm.online, kids.online, jobs.online, policies.online or music.online

This is because you have came out of circle of (limitation), by leaving the 
trade-name aside.

Thanks

Imran Ahmed Shah

Normally they'll only be used for "internal" purposes I agree. But some may also 
be distributed to the public.

Perhaps we'll see roland at mail.google as well as roland at googlemail.com?

Many years ago I was responsible for choosing UKonline[1] as the name for the 
first true consumer ISP in the UK, which we did despite UKonline.com belonging 
to a random manufacturer called (if I remember correctly) United Kinetics. 
(Several years later the British Government stole the name for their citizens 
online project!)

If .UKonline had been available in 1995 I'm sure we'd have jumped at it, and 
used it for customer email addresses. But we would not have charged for a sub 
domain.

[1] Compared to America Online (AOL) and Europe Online (an online service, no 
relation to the current company, as far as I know).
