"If there are 150 nodes in the mesh all 150 must answer." ??
===

It seems unlikely that there would be 150 companies cooperating the build "the Registry".
.COM has 4 companies that cover 100% of the market.

Average wholesale cost...$7.735
======= Example 4 RegisTRA Model =======
http://www.cashbackalliance.com/domain/domainsfor619.aspx
$6.19
http://www.wildwestdomains.com/pricelist.asp
$6.75
http://www.srsplus.com/en-def-5d142899df19/en/srsplus/partners_pricing.shtml
$8.00
http://resellers.tucows.com/opensrs/
$10.00
======================================================

The hierarchy is....

Reseller (Registrar)
RegisTRA
Registry

A RegisTRA does not compete with a Reseller...
...and Resellers can look like Registrars...
