If OpenNIC ever wants to be a serious alternative for the
DNS system everyone will kind of need to accept some basic
facts here, we can't exactly go about doing everything for
free for everyone forever if our userbase grew. We have an
opportunity to not make mistakes ICANN made, but charging for
domains was not one of those.
And why shouldn't I be compensated for the bandwidth a TLD operators costs me as a T2 operator? It isn't cheap to get the amount of transfer a single reflection-style or DDOS attack going across a nameserver can cost at any sort of "big player" level. Just one across the local DNS at the datacenter I used to moonlight at would have been expensive if it was being charged at the level end-users are charged by the DCs, let alone home ISPs. It is after all for this reason that it is discouraged to run a T2 let alone T1 nameserver if you have a cap, but believe you me, if you don't have one before a major attack, you will afterwards. And why must a "serious" project be a business venture? Linux isn't a business venture. The Free Sofware Foundation and GNU that it supports isn't a business venture. Both of them are much larger infrastructures and ecosystems than OpenNIC is likely to ever be. There's a lot of false dichotomy going on here: it is entirely possible for a large network infrastructure to be done for free or at the very least non-profit. -mb |
