ICANN: Dot Anything Wins Approval

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.

But who's pockets? Seems like its another gravy pipelline for Network Solutions. Without the root servers the new TLDs will have little value, eh? They will soak it in paperwork and formalities and bloat, they are very experienced at that.
