William, you used a term and I asked you to explain it.  Instead you cam 
back with a question, but no explanation.  So I rpeat my question:  what do 
you mean "competition at the registry level"?

None of those 240 are "shared registries".  They are individual 
regisitries, each under control of a single authority.  Some have multiple 
registrars.  Is that what you meant?
