Re: ICANN opens up Pandora's Box of new TLDs

* Jeroen Massar:

Some people are going to get very rich over this. I hope that they drown in the money just as the Internet will drown in all the crap TLD's, not even thinking of all the nice security issues which come along (home, mycomputer and .exe etc anyone ? :)

.exe abd .com are equivalent in this regard. Oops.

Thank you people doing all the ICANN politics for destroying the Internet.

I don't really see how this is substantially different from .me, .mobi, .cat or .eu. Basically, selling TLDs means that ICANN has some sort of implied non-technical obligation of keeping them relatively scarce, which is currently lacking AFAICT.
