ICANN: Dot Anything Wins Approval
"A complete overhaul of the way in which people navigate the internet has been given the go-ahead in Paris. The net's regulator, Icann, voted unanimously to relax the strict rules on so-called "top-level" domain names, such as .com or .uk. The decision means that companies could turn brands into [TLD] web addresses, while individuals could use their names".
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7475986.stm WTF, looks like we'll soon have top level domains up to 64 character in length! |
Just when you thought the wild west was settling they cross over another mountain.
Guess its important to give the speculators more inventory for their auto-submit scripts to suck on. |

And I don't hate them cuz they buy or own the domains. No. Own 1 billion domains for all I care, BUT USE THEM FOR SOMETHING! Hell, put a picture of your cat on it, I don't fucking care! These people just fuck it for everybody else. They buy a domain, DO NOTHING with it, then try to sell it back to you for the low-low price of 20k just appraised by one of their own "reputable appraisal services". Up your ass, bitch! Boy I hate domainers... did I mention that? |
It's not going to be as easy as just plugging your credit card into a form and buying a new TLD. There's a lengthy evaluation process to go through, http://www.icann.org/topics/gtld-eva...ss-16jun08.pdf and at $50k each, I don't think we'll see too many spammers trying to take advantage of it.
Still, I see no reason ICANN think more TLD's are needed, except to line their own pockets of course. |
Golly gee Johnny, somehow I get the impression that you have a mild dislike for domainers?
There are domainers registering and holding over 10k names a month. You would think it buys a lot of influence on how it gets done; but the large-scale name scammers never have to pay for the registrations. They will move into term-leasing names soon np doubt... gag. A scam that ICANN permits to fester like a boil on our collective asses. Nothing like being offered a hoarded domain name for $15k which is not even really registered yet. Fucktards is an understatement.... |
