[ncdnhc-discuss] Questions about ".edu"

[Jefsey Morfin]

Dear Manon,
thank you for the input.

 From all this I understand that there is several sub name spaces using our 
international IP networks shared infrastructure:

IANA
- the Internet by the ICANN  (com, net, org, biz, info ... arpa)
- the ccTLD system still in donation mood IRT the ICANN  (cc)
- Govnet by the USG (mil, gov, edu)

Independents
- New.net
- Real Names
- AOL

Open Roots
- ORSC, Pacific, Boroon, Cinics, Alternic, OpenNic...

Private SubNets
- extranets

I just wander why one makes so much noise about New.net ... may be because 
the only one having sponsored the ICANN?
