There has been much talk of the introduction of new TLDs -- either new ICANN/DoC ones or those of the likes of New.Net -- affecting the "stability" of the Internet. And yet so far on all the lists, not just this one, I have not seen a single example of how the "stability" would or could be affected by such introductions. Can anyone give me even one example?
it's not the stability. it's more the compatibility. there's a large difference between the icann and new.net tld's which are being introduced. to be blunt, everyone (okay, not everyone) uses the same root servers to identitfy what zones to serve. i'd be suprised to see if anyone had any issues with the introduction (besides the heinous registration lottery) of the icann accredited tlds, it's more of an issue with new.net when your customer can't email his girlfriend at lolita@whore.house because you're not serving dot house. but please, if this thread continues, maybe let's stay on topic of the operational sense (if there are stability issues) and not relive the new.net threads of the past (compatibility).
