(1) You can buy names from cybersquatters today from $330 to $350K -- I don't see how this behavior will change. This is the issue brands are worried about -- increased costs to get more names under their control, so cybersquatters do not try and spoof their real domains to take advantage of the unknowing Internet customer; (2) .NET and other extensions are available, but people aren't taking them -- so why would people want more TLDs? So either way you look at it, the ICANN solution misses the mark.CHRISdotTODDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891237750055202017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26496923.post-13148816033018036142009-07-31T10:03:26.687-07:002009-07-31T10:03:26.687-07:00Is there really a shortage of dot-coms?
