there is a process to go through to make new tlds, it costs a lot of money but if approved you get controlling rights to the tld, so you can sell them, new.net is trying to make .xxx a real tld instead of one needing a plugin to view. im pretty sure thats how it goes anyway

regardless a future where all adult material is on .xxx's would make it very easy to prevent kids from seeing any adult material on the web which would be agreat plus, but how do you police such a thing and make sure no one has adult content on regular domains. also if such a thing happened all of a sudden millions of domains would suddenly be useless, costing companies millions of dollars, would people be able to get there current domains in .xxx form? as someone said above that would also be difficult from new.net actually selling .xxx's already.

it might be a better situation if the extension wasn't something already being sold.
