Is there someone who thinks that trademark problems will be any less of a concern by creating lots of new TLDs -- won't a trade- mark owner be equally interested in protecting his rights in all the new TLDs, especially if the new TLDs are "generic"?
Good point... Look at the introduction of the 888 prefix in the US. The FCC is still trying to figure about what to do about all of the companies that want their "vanity" 800 numbers replicated into the 888 numbering space. What's the point of making the name (or number, in the case of 888) space bigger if it's just going to be filled up with copies of what's out there already? --zawada Paul J.
