Hello Rop, I read your interview and I will answer it shortly. Apparently you have much outdated information and many misconceptions which I will make clear in my reply. Meanwhile, you may be interested to know that name.space and alternic have agreed on the principle of shared top level namespace and will cooperate on implementing this as independent, friendly competitiors. The agreement between name.space and alternic is an historic event marking the turning point in the expansion of the internet namespace by entities outside of the existing bureaucracy. With the upgrading of the name.space network connectivity happening over the next several weeks, combined with the already excellent resources in use by the alternic affiliates, the total performance of nameservice on the net will increase dramatically as the total bandwidth, server resources and geographic presence of the new independent rootservers completely overshadows that of the current root-server.net. Looking forward to your reply and to your participation in the evolution of the indepedent and free internet.
