And no, companies *aren't* "forced to pay for another domain name" just because a new TLD appears -- they aren't doing it *now*, by and large, and thank ghod:The last time I looked there were a few thousand companies protecting their intellectual property by using companies like Mark Monitor to insure that they had defensive registrations in all ccTLD's possible.
Sure; MarkMonitor has a great sales staff. But the methods by which you can violate a trademark are *very* clearly defined, and the mere existence of a domain name doesn't seem to be one of them.
