I happen to agree that adding vast numbers of new TLDs is a terrible idea more for administrative and social than technical reasons, but this is the first you've heard about it, you really haven't been paying attention.
John, yes, I've been paying attention to the TLD space since Chris Ambler *first* put in his .web proposal -- what is that; 15 years now? 20? This is the first I've heard of *the possibility of TLD registrars being end-user internal/exclusive*. People have made jokes about company TLDs in the past, sure, but no, I never heard any specific discussion about it actually happening; I invite citations. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
