Re: [ga] 2002 3:219 .INFO...."root servers for .biz"....??...do you mean .BIZ TLD servers ?


Simon,

When discusssions about the expansion of the TLD name space were started in earnest
in 1995, people recognized the need to have a place for people to test. Some people are
concerned that a TLD will start and fail. The "toy" 32-bit IPv4 Internet is a perfect place to
test new TLDs, before they mature and are supported by 128-bit DNS services. All the
128-bit DNS providers will care about is the list of [SLD].[TLD] owners who make it
past the Proof-of-Concept test phase. How many are there in .BIZ ? (80,000?). How
about .INFO ? (50,000?). Have you seen many .BIZ or .INFO names in use yet ? Do
the economics warrant investments in .BIZ or .INFO when .COM and other TLDs
have to be completed ?

What are your favorite TLDs  besides .PRO ?
3:146     PRO
Who owns IN-ADDR.PRO ?
