Just being pedantic.....

of course anyone can run any service he wants and call it anything he wants 
(modulo use of existing trademarks.... different rathole...)
But: Anyone who wishes to avail themselves of this service would be well 
advised to read RFC 2826 - "IAB Technical Comment on the Unique DNS Root".

When IETF documents refer to the DNS, I think it's a safe bet that they are 
intending to refer to the system under the single root that most people 
regard as "the root".

I don't think any of the fundamentals have changed in the last 5 years.
