Issue 1: Competition
The DNS requires a unique root
In DNS, we have a question on how to have competition in general, since the commercial company NSI “had too large a market share”
Competition for registrations of DNS records is ensured using a registry/registrar model:
- One registry which runs the DNS server
- Competition at this level is handled by RFP, contracting the service from one and only one organization
- Many registrars which the customer talk with
- Registrars decide for example price for a registration
