Huh?

CORE isn't a "company" in any traditional sense. Its small
organization that holds a database. It does not "control" the TLDs. It
just maintains a database of what is registered in them.

The 800/888 number database in the U.S. is managed the same way -- by
a small organization that manages a database.
