.NAME at a Crossroads

Posted by michael on from the name-of-the-beast dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It seems the .NAME registry is at a crossroads. They say that things are going far from well, and so they have started their own registrar that is going to try to market .NAME domains to individuals, unlike all other registrars. If they don't manage, this will be the first gTLD to go bankrupt. I guess that will put a damper on any plans to introduce more new TLDs."

    But I've always thought it would be nice if software home pages could have a tld of .FSF or .GNU to avoid litigation from dipshit countries that think Obilex and Mobilex are too similar.

    If you're not a .com, you're not anybody.
