Yup, from one of the horse's mouth.
Without allowing someone with a .com to get their .xxx equivalent, it would be opening up a bigger pandora's box then exists today with trademark infringements.
Imagine if someone grabbed sex.xxx
You think gary at sex.com is going to just sit there and allow it? He'd probably end up suing the registrar, etc...
It's a nice "marketing" tactic, to allow the .com owner to get their .xxx equivalent.
So if ICANN appoves it, expect a wave of marketing that will target webmasters to sign up for the "voluntary" .xxx extension.
As you have seen from the guy who runs the .XXX extension, the price per domain could be upwards of $75.
Most webmasters have several if not hundreds of domains as either websites, doorways, gateways, etc.... so cost alone will be the first barrier.
