Root zone changes may shake up Net in Africa

"As the changes are introduced, there will be increase in capacity but we need to balance the pipes and the data," said Lars-Johan Liman from Autonomicae, who was presenting at the ICANN meeting in Seoul earlier this week.

The ICANN community seems split on whether DNSSEC should be introduced first or whether the new TLDs should be added first. According to the study by ICANN's root scaling study team, DNSSEC should be introduced first but proponents of the new gTLDs view it as a ploy to delay the introduction on new TLDs to the root.
