Re: [ga-roots] New.net releases AOL compliant plug-in

["L Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

New.net does operate a root.  As far as I know, AOL, CompuServe, et 
al are portals, ISPs and not root services.  

As for who cares, if a registry offers domain names, we need to care.  
Portals are not registries, so are beyond the scope.  New.net is a 
registry and a root, so should be within our scope of consideration.
