a few of the world's largest ISPs appear to have made a business decision to use a superset of the ICANN/US Department of Commerce's root zone.
Which big ones? I've never seen any official message about this.
the only folk who say this are in the marketing department of the new.dns fools and a few misguided and/or misinformed net.politicians.
I've seen various claims by various alternative root operators. None have been confirmed by independent research as far as I know.
folk who think this nonsense is viable are doomed to relive history. the same rogue namespace silliness was tried in fidonet and failed a decade ago. randy
