In my area of NJ, virtually every town's "obvious" .com domain names were grabbed by one of two competing would-be service providers. They had absolutely no town-specific content -- but if the town wanted a Web site, they had no choice but to deal with these folks. I have no major problem with first-come, first-served *productive* use of a domain name, but frankly, that's not where the problem has been. The problem has been speculators and cybersquatters.
Uh, why couldn't the town just use <name>.nj.us or whatever the city specific code was long ago and far way. -- Bryan C. Andregg Smoke Jumper "As Slow as Possible, <bandregg () redhat com> Red Hat, Inc. As Fast as Necessary." gpg 1024D/19893A19 A8DA 869A 037A C6B5 BF07 AB61 E406 414B 1989 3A19
