Lets say I want to apply for .WINE with commercial purposes, then what is a ballpark figure for the funds/investment required ?
I wouldn't try it with less than a million bucks in hand. Beyond the ICANN application nonsense, you'd also want to budget something for running and promoting it for however long it takes to verify that it was a silly idea and then go bust.
My perception is that if you don't have access to ~$2M for that kind of gTLD don't even waste your time. (Does the $185K include the given gTLD cocktail party at the seasonal ICANN meeting ?) Cheers Jorge
