Most gTLD IDNs will be registered as dot coms, so what exactly is your point?

You definitely march to a specific drumbeat.

I guess we won't know which strategy is best for a couple more years.

Don't mock. It is a very serious condition. Rehabilitation is both lengthy and expensive.

Sorry, but there is nothing new or clever going on here! What you would in effect be subscribing to is a Keywords service, which has been reasonably effective in Far East in the absence of language support on the DNS, but stands to be wiped out with the introduction of IDN.

Anyone who subscribes to this latest offering needs their head examining or a few basic classes on how the Internet actually works!

This is a very old skeptic song that is played out before every technological breakthrough since the day one of the world. It is quite obvious who are the most loud voices? An awful lot of people will lose an awful lot of money.

The first reason that this doesn't make any sense is that if it takes off you so quickly run out of meaningful names that the dot will come straight back again.

The second reason it doesn't make sense is that you could run a similar identical competing system from your PC. You may not be able to give much in the way of bandwidth but you could do it. Might take me ten thousand years to access my first page but you could do it. In terms of the investment this outfit has made, comparisons would rank their entire capacity much closer to your PC than the Internets Root Servers.

The third reason it won't work is that no sytem than is reliant on a plug-in every gets sufficient market penetration to become a serious player, let alone dominant.

The fourth reason, is just who are these people accountable to. What security of tenure do you have if they remain solvent, and what happens if they do not?

I could probably go on all night, but I think is sufficient to summarize with it is a stinking con, but some are going to be sucked in. I guess you have already sent off several $1,000 cheques. Well Good Luck, you will need it.

Just on the contrary, there will be billions of meaningful domain/sub-domain combinations! Remember, the initiative is called "around-the-dot".

In the article:

“I don’t like to work,” Schwartz says, almost yelling as if to convince everyone within earshot that they’re fools if they do. “I figure any moron in the world can generate work for themselves and tie up their time. I have one laptop, no employees, and no product whatsoever -- none! This is magic.” Magic, he claims, that’s earning him $2 million a year.

There is no magic and certainly there is no miracle. This is called "Monopoly"! And no monopoly will last for ever. It is a time for a change!

Each group of the DNS mafia realizes they can't stop the progress of technology yet on some level each group would like to try. I can bet they will try! Their deep pockets guarantee that will be the case. It is the general public interest, however, that requires an open Internet and what UnifiedRoot is suggesting is the way to break the DNS monopoly!

Yes, but it won't be the dot comers. But hey, march to your own beat, that's your right! Opinons are like bellybuttons, everyone has one.

with TLD fees like this..

TLD Fees
TLD Application Fee USD 1000
TLD Renewal Fee(after the first year) USD 250

Its not lookin' so hot.

It does NOT seem to take into account generic keywords.. just centered around companies, which I believe will not fly.

Instead of having multiple domain names like "company.com", "company.net", "company.biz", "company.co.uk", one can register a single TLD and build around the dot to adopt a more flexible, logical, and simple addressing standard like "home.company".

Well good luck with your endevour. But at these prices they will be targetting advertisers and big companies. But, "they" will not be interested because what good is a marketing ploy if you can't market it to the public as a whole.

P.S.

Don't forget there have been several of these "pr stunts" over the years and none of them have ever taken off.

 

[Poker]

Wow, I have a headache...

 

[ForumDomains]

...But at these prices they will be targetting advertisers and big companies...

Have you tried to become a registry of some ICANN related/dependant extension like .info, .biz, .xxx? Can you figure out how much would it take to have ICANN's permission on that? Of course, not! Otherwise you would not say that prices like USD 1000 for your very own (.nearly-any-word-you-want) TLD Application Fee and USD 250 TLD Renewal Fee(after the first year) are not attractive!

Under the UnifiedRoot project the value of domain names will decrease dramatically to its absolute minimum, because there will be unlimited number of permutations of the nowadays most expensive keyword combinations. It is very bad for the so called domain investors (they'll have to change their lifestyle) but it is good for the rest of Web population. Why?

Because content will rule! (Who did say that?)
Because this is the content that is important to the surfer not the domain name!

The funneling process that is applied now, due to an "attractive" domain you have under the present DNS structure, will not be possible. Or it will be largely diluted.
