This is the part of the announcement that really scares me:

"8. Q. How much profit is this going to generate beyond what's reinvested in
the Internet? What's your margin?

A. We don't know what our costs will be, since the growth in registration is so
great, and this activity has never been privatized before. As a tax-paying,
>>for-profit<< corporation, we certainly hope that we have accurately estimated
our cost of performance, and that the fees will be sufficient to cover those
costs and provide us with a reasonable profit."


Hello? Monopoly anyone? 

I see that the Internet Service Providers Associate, Crystal Palace Networking
and Journey Communications have started their own root-level domain name
services...who's next?

Does the EFF have anything to say about this?
