RE: [ga] New TLD White Paper released

Many thanks for your kind comment.

 

Actually I've been led to think that many of the greater problems concerning domain names, particularly intellectual property disputes have been brought about by the very existance of gTLDs. Absent the latter, the interfase between IP and domain names would not be as rough as it is.

 

In the end, there's hardly any functional difference, et ceteris paribus, between a ccTLD and a gTLD. Someone in New Zealand can browse a website identified by a Norwegian domain just as he can browse websites identified by any gTLD.

"For the second part, we all know how it ended. But this had a disastrous

effect also on the first part, because it is simply the artificial shortage

of gTLDs that has increased the interest in ccTLDs."

 

Excuse me, but I find it nearsighted to state that the reason for the current interes in ccTLDs is simply due to the shortage of gTLDs. There are marketing reasons which may compel a service provider to seek a ccTLD rather than a gTLD, which go beyond the inavailability of one of the latter.

 

"Mock-up gTLDs", such as .tv are another story.
