Thus, The USA are not using anyway. The real standard for the US should be .us :-) In France, the situation in .fr is similar to .com now, for a long there was no read control over the name space. The universities uses all sort of naming scheme (univ-*.fr, u-*.fr, something.fr, and so on) for example. > it would turn into a big mess with the country level authorities. > Another thing that Dave pointed out to me was that DNS traffic isn't > really all that taxing, so the benefits would be minimal. :-) He's right about the traffic. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #2: Sat Dec 9 19:14:38 MET 1995
