Hundreds of New TLDs Coming — Question Is When

netbuzz writes "A controversial plan to introduce hundreds of new top-level domains could be headed for the fast track to implementation or something more akin to the back burner, depending on what ICANN makes of public comments due to close at the end of this month. At most immediate issue is whether the process of granting these new TLDs will feature a pre-registration process that proponents say is necessary to accurately gauge the depth of interest and skeptics fear as moving too fast too soon. Says one critic: 'In effect, it's like ICANN saying we don't know what route this race is going to take or the shape of the track, but we're going to fire the starting gun anyway.'"

troll? really?? i am fucking serious here. so, when the next platform of communication gets made(whatever it may be), you think established companies should get first dibs, even after they dismiss it as passing trend or not financially viable or whatever lameshit excuse they will use? that, sir, is idiotic. "first come, first serve" should always be the case for things of this matter.
as for typos and the sites made to benefit from them, should we coddle every internet user and have browsers automatically fix typos to the more popular sites? should these typo-domains be given to the site owners that people were trying to get to? both sound rediculous. well, at least your name's right, you fucking git!
