New .XXX Top Level Domain

Jigabug writes "There's a story over at Yahoo! News mentioning yesterday's approval by ICANN on a new .xxx TLD. Domains are currently planned to be offered at 60.00 each for registration. The .xxx joins the recently approved .jobs and .travel." From the article: "Adult-oriented sites, a $12 billion industry, probably could begin buying xxx addresses as early as fall or winter depending on ICM's plans, ICANN spokesman Kieran Baker said. The new pornography suffix was among 10 under consideration by the regulatory group..." CNN and the BBC have commentary as well.

.cat is the domain for the Catalan culture. (Not limited to the boundaries of the nation within Spain)

That was a necessary precision, thanks.

.cat for the culture, .ct for the country.

Might I suggest you have a look at http://www.root-servers.org/?
I'm sure you will find that there is a world outside the U.S, and that the rest of the world does not rely exclusively on American root servers.
Nice troll though:)
