But do you really believe playboy are going to give up playboy.com? Or that new websites are going to register an address that will result in their website not being visible by 1/6th of the worlds population ( http://uk.ibtimes.com/articles/127009/20110325/india-blocks-xxx-domain.htm - and we all know China and several other countries won't be far behind so we're probably talking closer to half or more of the worlds population). At first glance this might sounds like a good idea, but do you know any *.travel or *.asia (etc) websites that don't also have the equivalent or similar .com version? Nobody uses these domains as their only domain, it's just yet another one that they will register - and yet more money they need to pay to the registries each year to protect their brand. Scott.
