Surprised this was actually approved, but more so that this story seems to have gone unnoticed on the list... I would have expected a lot more chatter here - http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/03/icann-approves-xxx-red-light -district-for-the-internet.ars So the days of pointless TLDs are amongst us as we've now given would-be registrars the right to print money and companies are forced to purchase useless domain names in order to protect their trademarks, prevent squatting, etc. When will sanity prevail?
