Off topic... 

I don't have grandiose dreams.   But i do have a problem with an entity being charged  185 thousand dollars to have their name written in a list.  my plans (im a libertarian by the way)   dont include any government agency,  mainly out of sheer spite.   Much like many countries who aren't registered to  Icann.   I have no problem with the list.   Just the unfair implementation.

That is good information, thanks Jeff.

I would suggest though that of those 146 domains
it is likely that less than 10 are in use. In fact
my experience with grep.geek sites is that roughly
one in ten of those there do not exist. So perhaps
there are only 5 .free sites in actual use. One would
have to check all 146 domains by hand (a bot won't do)
and look to see if there is actually any real content.

I don't wish to sound overly negative, but some
people on this list seem to be having hallucinations
or grandiose dreams about the status of OpenNIC in
the internet world. OpenNIC is important, for sure,
but not everybody thinks so and our buy-in is an
immeasurable percentage.

        Ole

 It looks like there are 146 registered domains (including
 the default ones like reg and www).  Of those, 57 appear
 to have records pointing to a website (based on data
 collected by grep.geek). Beyond that I don't really have
 any data as to how frequently domains are registered.

Actually, before counting my vote. Can we get some
background information on the .free TLD? Like, how many
domains are currently registered under this TLD? How
many new registrations do we have per month and how
many of the TLDs are really used (pointing to a server
not counting in the NS records to our TLDs DNS)?
