            Free competition among new registries
            (draft-iahc-koh-competition-00.txt)


ABSTRACT

New registries must be created in such a way that there is true free 
competition.


BACKGROUND

We are located in China where free competition is not respected in many
areas. As such, we treasure free competition. The creation of many 
registries does enable competition in a sense. However, we need to look
at the exact operation to determine whether there is actually free
competition.

For example, the telephone business in USA is not quite free competition
as Telco has monopoly over its own region.

In China, we have experienced that monopoly has led to abuse.


PROPOSAL

There should be no territorial rights assigned to the new registries.
One can go to any registries which offers better services. This will
ensure free competition.

There may be some difficulties in managing many registries but that is
another problem and should not be an excuse to kill the spirit of free
competition.
