Great article today. There's something kind of strange about the Grey
Times talking about "hard A records", but it's really quite impressive
research. There is a small error, which may have been introduced by
your copy editor.

>In the recent years, the DNS system was administered by
>Network Solutions and owned by the technical consulting

I assume you intended something more like:

>In the recent years, the DNS system was administered by
>Network Solutions which is owned by the technical consulting
>group Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC).

Also, it seems reasonable in these sort of articles to mention that the
entire administration of the DNS is in transition and specifically to
reference the gTLD site <http://www.gtld-mou.org>. Nominally, the IANA
has responsibility for the root domain, and as you probably know, Jon
Postel has posted this statement:
<http://www.isi.edu/div7/iana/gtld.html>.
