 The above quoted source says that NSI does not SCREEN applications.
I have not read anything that said the regulations are *repealed*.

 If someone gets strangled in their sleep, just because no police
are around to regulate does not make it right.  Justified, maybe,
but still not within regulations.

 RFC 1591 says:
 "World Wide Generic Domains:
    COM - This domain is intended for commercial entities, that is
          companies."

 You can read all about it at: http://whatis.com/org.htm if you like.

 Sounds like the fan company fits under that listing, unless of course
they're giving them away at cost or something.
