>SEVEN NEW TOP-LEVEL DOMAIN NAMES ADDED FOR INTERNET ADDRESSES: UP
>TO 28 NEW REGISTRARS PLANNED

Am I the only one who thinks this is a really dumb idea?  Like everyone
who currently has a .com domain name that they want to protect won't
immediately apply for the corresponding domain name in each of the new
domains?  hp.firm, hp.store, hp.web, etc.  Or that the CocaCola company
won't mind someone creating cocacola.rec as long as they get .com?

>.firm  for businesses, or firms
>.store for businesses offering goods to purchase
>.web   for entities emphasizing activities related to the WWW
>.arts  for entities emphasizing cultural and entertainment activities
>.rec   for entities emphasizing recreation/entertainment activities
>.info  for entities providing information services
>.nom   for those wishing individual or personal nomenclature

.nom?? What a stupid name.  And it rhymes with .com!!!  Sheesh.

At $50/year per domain for virtually no effort, this sounds like one
heck of a deal for the lucky winners of what seems to essentially
be a free lottery to win licenses to print money.
