Well if it's education, we all know the quote, "history repeats itself."
Let's go back to the 1880s with the War of Currents.
This seems like proponents of TLD's vs. gTLD's as it was DC vs. AC.
We won't know who will win the war, until consumers accept them (Westinghouse & 50 Cent) and make them widely known.
(If you don't know why AC was accepted over DC, don't try to rebut this with .INFO, .TEL, .MOBI didn't work as they alone don't correlate quite as well)
