| No news about the 'tax'? Read another article a week or two ago that said that there was going to be some sort of 'tax' associated with some of those new domains. Did not find out how it was going to be charged though.

I agree -- most of these restricted special-purpose domauns don't make much logical sense when the companies/organizations eligible to use them will still use .com .
IMO, more unrestricted domains like .info is the way to go...

While I agree with you, and so does most everyone (I rarely see other URLS besides country codes) I think that there is not enough space so they have to make more codes to allow more companies to have a presence on the internet.
When I see those standard codes, I know right away it's for the internet. When I see .travel or something, I have to think first WTF is that? Even though I know what it is... HEH....

| Re: good names said by shray :.sex sounds good to me! .sex would actually be a good idea, if they did such a thing they could make it illegal to have an adult site on anything except .sex .. This would make filtering really easy for schools and your home network if you have kids.

.travel and .jobs seems useless

| The problem with that idea is that who would decide what is an adult site? What if your a Gynecologist and your website has sexually explicit pictures? Would you have to be on the .sex domain?
RFC 3675 explains why this idea wouldn't very well.

| Managed in USA Did you notice that all these new domains are being managed from USA?
"The .jobs extension will be administered by US-based Employ Media while the .travel addresses will be managed by New York-based Tralliance Corporation."
Why, it is not like JOB and TRAVEL can happen in USA only. Think that it is not fair that internet is being based in USA like other contries don't exist.

We invented the thing. We manage it. What's the big deal? We don't tell France how to operate their MiniTel service do we?
Would you rather the jobs associated with managing these domains be out-sourced to some other country?

Just because a company is owned by Americans, it doesn't mean they'll be giving jobs to Americans in America. | |
