Actually, what I was trying to point out is that the non-commercial usage
of domain names could grow spectaularly.

(There will probably be a race to get ones' one last name as a 2LD -- so I
could be karl@auerbach.com [which I am, actually, since I have
auerbach.com])

And that will utterly crush the argument that individual domain name
owners are too small a group to be concerned about.
