Least we keep repeating "25,000,000 mid-to-large-sized businesses in the United States", which as someone pointed out would be ~10 persons per business, I offer some counter numbers. Over 95% of all corporate wealth/capitalization in the United States is contained in the largest 5000 businesses. A good deal of that is contained in the top 500. I believe that it is in everyone's interest, and not a technological burden, to support these few thousand companies in a top level .com domain. Just because there may be millions of tiny home businesses does not mean that e.g. IBM should end up several levels deep in the tree. Look at the number of people that will access IBM vs. my home business. Think of having to traverse potentially backwater DNS servers to access multi-billion dollar companies? Of course deciding who's in or out is where the difficulty lies, but the technology doesn't demand uniform inconvenience for us all. - Phil
