with the rules being changed to make it easier to get a TLD, all that someone needs is $50k-$100K for the application, all of the requirements completed, and then stand in line for the process.
ICANN pushed hard to "open up the name space", by creating more TLDs. Its easy to jump to the conclusion that they are doing this for the money, since they will get a piece of every new domain, as well as rate hikes on existing.. but what will they do with all of this money as they are a quasi-government entity...
Maybe congress should look at the estimated projections for revenue on new TLD, and maybe see that as a new source of money to help bail the country out.
I see the new TLDs as being just like lottery tickets... voluntary taxes
Fight the taxation without the resentation!
