This is not entirely a bad idea. It does not make sense for Google to be a domain registrar when there are like 100s of of other companies doing exact same thing. Finding a good partner and providing tight integration makes so much sense. W

I have been to Deadhorse AK, it is a pretty cool oil rig town probably producing billions dollars worth of oil each year, more than many US towns. So Please dont compare it with rural areas. Deadhorse also has a fully functioning commercial
