Registrars Fight ICANN
Protest new flat fee structure
by Karl Bode Tuesday 06-Jul-2004 tags: business
Seventy-five registrars have apparently banded together to protest new rate hikes by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Number's (ICANN). In the past, rates were determined by the number of global top-level domains (gTLDs) a registrar wanted to sell from; ICANN instead switching to a flat fee structure regardless of size. ICANN says the idea is to have all registrars support the group's operation budget, a third of which goes toward supporting all registrars. However smaller registrars in less affluent countries are concerned they'll be forced out of business.

The UN, under the auspices of the ITU. At least the ITU is one organization that does have its act together.

Yes. The UN seems to run the ITU and the Postal Union just fine.

Here's a link to the PROPOSED budget:

I'd recommend reading it, although it is fairly boring.

They want to tax online businesses? How?

# Tax online businesses, a suggestion brought forth by some business owners. "ICANN proposes to engage these stakeholders and other commercial entities who profit from the stability and operation of the Internet and those who underwrite those who profit from Internet interoperability," the budget proposal states.

Have they lost their damn minds? How would that work?
