I agree. In fact the current DNS system was developed at a time when
things were simpler than they are now. I'm wondering if a superior
system could be developed that actually works better and would
attract adoption. I'm of the mindset that impossible=challenge and
just because some have tried and failed doesn't mean to stop trying.<br>

Besides few loose nuts out there that have been trying to do
the same<br>
thing for two decades, there is no real incentive (meaning
money) for<br>
a $7B+ industry to change its ecosystem and pay attention to
another<br>
troll.<br>
<br>
The technology to have/use an alternate dns root exists and
is<br>
available to anybody, you just need to convince couple of
hundred<br>
million users and service providers to point to your own
servers, and<br>
then we can make a movie about the fights that will surface
when<br>
people try to determine who runs the servers and how and
who/how you<br>
pay to keep it running.<br>
<br>
Again, what we need is something better and more elaborated
that an<br>
alternate root, a new scheme that enables applications to
locate<br>
resources using a protocol and name space that is not tied
to the<br>
current DNS.<br>
