[ncdnhc-discuss] .biz rollout further delayed

[David Corish]

Some feel Neulevel has postponed the launch of .biz in order to run the
tests that Afilias should have run for .info.   The .info registry has been
underpowered from day one.  One hunch is that Neulevel's .biz registry is
equally underpowered, and the additional time is to come up with a
demand-throttling scheme somewhat better than Afilias's.
