Yeah but I can just go buy 1,000,000 worth of Servers and Make my own and let you connect to it, and then charge people to host websites on it. so you could have www.google.individualrightsinnjisthecoolest or whatever I choose to make the suffix.

That's absurd. You can't just do that without ICANN approval.

Technically his only hitch to a competing Internet is fiber optic cable. In the U.S. only telecoms (aka Utilities) can lay cable. With open source code, and prearranged cable you could build your own Internet. This Internet wouldn't be accessible to the greater Internet (the one FR is on for instance) without a gateway between the two.

Think I am wrong? Ask the U.S. government if it can be done or not. ;-)

Cheers,

He absolutely could do it. However, www.google.individualrightsinnjisthecoolest would resolve only for those who use his DNS servers, which means nobody.
