I'm still on the fence but I wonder if someone who can afford to pay..
how much was it again to ICANN? to get a new TLD can't acquire the IP
address block they need for an anycast server system on the open
market.

Still, it seems like some policy correction here may be in order. If
this group depletes the pool (which they seem qualified to do) then it
won't be available for anyone else either.
