I was thinking about this last night. It is inevitable that eventually the Internet is going to have some kind of "categories" for the simple fact that there are only so many combinations of letters available. Just like big cities like LA used to be in the 213 area code and there were enough numbers available that the 213 area code could also include the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys, the airport are, mid-cities, South Bay, Long Beach and the Santa Monica/West LA area.
Because of the explosion in population and even more telephone numbers they had to start breaking these up and putting them in new area codes. The number of domains out there increases daily, so to allow new TLD's only seems to make sense. Besides, after the millions Lawley spent to get .xxx passed I find it extremely amusing that his competitors can get in for <$200k.
