even more snake oil now.
And I'm afraid we'll be seeing a whole heckuva lot more of this snake oil once ICANN finalizes the Generic TLD process in June:
The only possible thing that could save anyone with a valuable meatspace (tm) from having to buy its string representation in all the new TLDen is to make TLDen ubiquitous to a degree where the TLD can't be assumed anymore. A root zone with several thousand TLDen is no technical problem. I wonder when the effect kicks in. If it does. A positive side-effect would be to enable the altroot kooks to buy a TLD (.altroot -- under which they can run their own mini-Internets) of their own, which would disable some, if not all of them. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 An Italian is COMBING his hair in suburban DES MOINES!
