Once upon a time there was a company that had the complete monopoly over the 
generic TLDs, as Registry and as Registrar ;>).
It seems ages, but it was just a couple of years ago when five new 
Registrars were allowed to compete with NSi at the Registrar level, and just 
few months ago the basis for the introduction of new generic TLDs has been 
put.

To the people like me, that have been fighting for years to achieve this 
result, it seems an achievement. And it does not seem to me that it was so 
obvious that ICANN could have achieved it: still in Cairo (one year ago) I 
was discussing with other old-timers about what could have been the next 
roadblock.

We do (at least some of us do) criticize the "OptionB" contract, but we have 
to admit that it is still a long way from the "OptionZero", which was 
basically "NSi has it all".

Regards
Roberto
