The internet has one namespace, not one root. If someone goes and
deliberatly
causes instability by creating collisions, that is wrong. If someone (or
company)
is hell-bent at destroying any and all competition and is willing to
destabilize
the internet by moving an entire ccTLD to gtld servers that are on an
illegitmate
colliding version of a TLD, that too is wrong.

1: The Neulevel BIZ is illegitimate because it was not the first to
be in continuous operation. In the opinion of a growing number of
people, ICANN and Neulevel perpetrated a theft.

2: The reason that they moved .US gtld servers under .BIZ was
to try to harm the competiton by trying to force the ever-growing
list of ISPs using inclusive namespace root servers to switch
back. They failed.

3: Typical of ICANN apologists, the poster tries to take an act
of sabatoge and theft (perpetrated by you know who) that was intended
to try and stamp out legitimate businesses, and turns around
and tries to blame the intended victims.

Sorry - wrong answer, but thank you for playing

Next???
