And no, companies *aren't* "forced to pay for another domain name" 
just because a new TLD appears -- they aren't doing it *now*

Oh yes we are

Looking at bbc.org and bbc.tv suggests that you are not.

We used not to, bbc.org and others are why we started. We
did have bbc.tv for a while, what you see
now shows why this is a considered a problem.

I tried to stick to just one, I was wrong, legal overuled technical.

Now we have thousands such as
bbcsathalanalatpaxathipataipaxaxonlao.com
but not some obvious ones
