NeuStar is the ".us" Registy and has entered into an open root
agreement with the GSMA, supporting the ".gprs" TLD. That the IETF
pays to host a link to them may certainly be perceived as a
political signal.
Oh, no, not this again. Neustar's .gprs TLD exists only on a special
purpose private network disjoint from the public Internet, used for
GSM signalling and invisible to anyone who doesn't run a GSM phone
switch. It is not the network that GSM phone users see when they use
web or mail services over their phones. I don't care what names the
GSMA uses on their private network, and I don't see any reason that
anyone else would, either.
There may be reasons not to like Neustar, but the fact that they
happen to provide network infrastructure to phone companies is not one
of them.
R's,
John
