all statements made to date by the india and united kingdom governments 
have indicated that their plans to support in-country RDNS will not be 
mandatory, just as canada's (operated by CIRA) is not mandatory.

i think if some country is intelligent enough to realize that america's 
tech companies are seeing an advantageous flow of in-country PII (that 
being the combination of end-user IP addresses and third-party intents 
such as DNS lookups), and that this puts their economy at some risk, 
they should (or perhaps SHOULD or even MUST) compete against ibm, cisco, 
google, and cloudflare in order to keep this PII in-country and subject 
to local law.

it's the only rational defense against this data grab, and i applaud it.
