Will you also be proposing to remove the financial incentives to have a monopoly
on leasing/selling IP addresses ? (ala ARIN, RIPE and APNIC)

Will you be proposing to remove the financial incentive of buying bandwidth
in bulk on strategic connections and reselling portions of it downstream to
people that have not secured the strategic links ? (ala NSPs and ISPs)

Finally, will you be proposing to remove the financial incentives for developing
web sites for companies that need the same basic layout and cgi scripts ?

If you do all of these things...you might bankrupt the industry...what's the point ?
