If ISPs / networks / software block .XXX, what's the point...

Many people already are reporting issues with .XXX being blocked / not resolving properly. That doesn't bode well for .XXX...

That could be the difference between payment processors, webhosts, etc requiring adult sites to operate in .XXX or not. If .XXX is shown to be far less reliable than other TLDs, companies will be hard pressed to require sites to be in it.

And there's precedence for this ... remember "900" phone numbers? How often does one see those advertised these days ... virtually never. Many teleservices that did business through 900 numbers long ago migrated back to non-900 prefixes (800, 877, etc) due to the highly aggressive blocking of 900 numbers. .XXX could be going down the same road and end up just as useless compared to other TLDs.
