Okay, my take is this:
A smaller number of "players" would love to see .XXX, and further, they would like to see the US government mandate that all american based porn sites have to be on .XXX domains, that processing could only happen for sites on .XXX domains, and that traffic only come from .XXX domains...
Why?
Because they would go out with their stacks of current cash and buy out all the good .XXX real estate, and leave everyone else in the dirt. Effectively, it would be like taking 10-15 years of adult internet and domain sales, and throwing it out the window and allow the current players to take over in one swoop.
Some people do believe that compressing the entire online industry down to a couple of dozen player companies maximum would beat the current thousands model, and they work regularly to accomplish this. .XXX would allow these people to move more quickly on their goal to eliminate most affiliates and to center traffic within their own site structure and traffic funnels.
Making porn into a ghetto for these people is a great thing. Limit the access, limit the amounts of free porn, and make getting access to it "special" and they can actually RAISE the prices of memberships, downloads, and PPV movies.
For a very few players, .XXX is the answer they have been looking for.
For the rest of us, it is a red hot poker up the ass.
