Indeed. My own naive proposal in those far-off days was that the fee
for a .com name should have been about $1000, intentionally high, so
that only companies with a genuine international scope would go there.
Everyone else would go into their local country code, like CNRI.
Unfortunately Chicago School economics prevailed: no pesky regulations,
let the market decide, and all will be well. So we got 1261 gTLDs
and counting.
