Just saw this on Yahoo's home page.

hmmm, I wonder which ones. I also wonder if there will be a huge rush to get names in any new extension coming out due to the success of .mobi. Unless the extensions are .con, .cm, or .c, I don't think I'm going to be risking money on them.

 

[Raider]

It would be nice to know what TLD's their considering, if anyone knows please post. Aside from that, there is much debate over whether new TLD's hurt or help the more established TLD'S, I say it helps.

As for the .cm, well that's already in use, Cameroon is making a ton off typos. :yes:

They're not considering any yet, as the application process hasn't opened.

That said, Image Online Design still has an application for .Web pending from 2000.

See http://www.WebTLD.com

 

[petrosc]

aahhh... if only .vom, .xom, and .con opened up ...

 

[picassoface]

I think Scotland has .sco up for consideration still

 

[BostonDomainer]

aaah.... I love this industry

 

[GAMEFINEST]

We have so many already..

 

[Gerry]

Odd, they are in the process of canning many.

Also, from a related story I read on this, most being considered or that will be considered are specific ccTLD's. If I can find that story, I will post it.

Is it possible to reg a .CM? ...and if so, where?

 

[Gerry]

I'm hoping it is going to be .dopi or .wtf or .scam.

 

[BostonDomainer]

.sex would be nice.... it could become the red light district of U.S sex traffic.... any who owns a .com has first dibbs to the new extension- but it must be claimed... I think every country must have this tactic.... if u own the country code then you get to own the "sex" extension-translation of the country which requires some sort of proof of age mechanism... just a thought

 

[think]

.kid or .fam please.....

 

[Gerry]

.kid or .fam please.....

THAT would be spectacular. It would shift focus off the XXX trade and shift it to those that it would truly benefit. The fam is also good so I think either of those would be appropriate but Kid needs no acronym or clarification.

 

[typist]

aahhh... if only .vom, .xom, and .con opened up ...

even .nert and .orf would be enough to make me happy...

You cant reg online, and the reg site has been down for many months. One person that knows a lot about this is our good friend John Berryhill, you may want to ask him what the current state of this TLD is.

This clearly shows your depth and understanding of the domain industry as a business..., however the jocular intiensions of your post might adds nothing to the emerging business state of DNF.... so your comment is deamed insulting to the professionals on this board.

When you say "professionals on this board" i'll refrain from answering but only say that i am no domainer by profession, and you assuming that shows a few things, one being you make false assumptions.

Sorry if my 'joke' in the prev post, somehow offended you
