You keep eu.org but you do not talk about .st and .nf. and eu.org was
made because you do not have choice today with domain. and that why i do
not want the same thing for IP.

and like i said many time, is all the freedom to have other thing
possible that the main stream.

False. LIR FEES is huge for a non profit company with vulunteer. and
hardware and place in the internet are today not expensive. And when
that was expensive you had not money for only administartive purpose.


Main stream of the internet is commercial but today you have the
possibility to do not follow this main stream.

tomorrow is not possible because you have contract.


Internet still works and works with gentlement agreement, and anyway you
can hijack youtube's PA with the LIR status....
