With all the crap we've seen on NSI's Whois database, I'd say this is damn good idea - why shouldn't something created by the public (yes, all of our registrations created this database!) be owned by the public?
For all the years of hard work in developing what could without a doubt be one of the core pushes in the advancement of the Internet as we know it today. (Oh, and hey... your DNS tutorials and guidelines saved my ass years ago. You the man!)
I went through the same thing. I ended up moving line providers because after 6 months of trying to reach someone on the phone, and being told that the last person I spoke to each time was no longer with the company (undoubtably the highest turnover rate on the planet!) I was fed up. MCI/Worldcomm can burn for all I care...
How can you shut off someone's 4 PRI lines on a Friday afternoon after someone misprints a circut ID, and then say, "Welp, sorry. Until I get another order to turn it back on, it stays off." and stay in business? Give me a break.
Does anyone remember the Gartner Report about a two months back that pitted *nix based systems versus WindowsNT?
Anyone else happen to remember how bad WindowsNT lossed? In fact, if I remember right, they recommended *cough**cough*FreeBSD*cough**cough* with Apache as the perfect webserver combination.
