While we still don't how many applications in total there will be, we now know that VeriSign — the company that runs .com and .net is backing at least 220 of them."

    How many of these TLDs can be shut down extra judicially at the behest of political or business interests without due process?

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement....for the Internet!?

    No US controlled TLDs for me thank you very much. I boycott US domains, US hosting, and travel to the country itself.
