When you distribute any industry over a large
number of people or companies, you allow
everyone to have more choices. People will
select based on people they know and trust.
They will also select based on existing business
relationships with companies.

When there is only one organization, people
have no choice. If you are going to have only
one, it might as well be the government because
at least they can be held accountable via the
various checks and balances in the system.

I prefer to have the IP allocation function
distributed over many registries. It certainly
does not take a rocket scientist to make
these allocations. Any of the new TLD registries
that are now starting to come into their own
should be able to help provide these services
if they want to add that to their menu.
