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. |
well you can get your own tld for that amount but if you want to sell domains from that tld its a whole different ballgame.
at the very least they should of made it so .brand or just typing brand will work, instead you have to type something before the . which makes it seem very awkward.
