Um, yea, right. But only if you define "compete" as meaning being a mud-encrusted $10 floor mat in a $200,000 Rolls Royce. “…new registries that will compete with existing ones like .com”

Compete? Um, yea, right.

But only if you define “compete” as meaning being a mud-encrusted $10 floor mat in a $200,000 Rolls Royce.

I only see other extensions which miserably disappointed. Maybe these other extension have a future in 10, 20 or 30 years from now, but at last my gut feeling says that ccTLD'S , .com and maybe .net will stand out and rule the online market for quiet a while. I mean if you can't even get high quality marketing managers and business owners to understand the value, quality and need of TOP generic .com names which can boost business?! How in the world are you going to get consumers and Internet users to type in www. more.crap instead of .com , .net or .de? I see no need and no future for theses gTLD’S.

On a serious note, I find the low demand for Geo TLDs the most interesting because those would probably contain the highest percentage of buyers serious about development - which means the fear about most of these new TLDs unleashing a tsunami of TM violations is quite real. 99.99% starry eyed speculators and probably a ton of TM violations to boot (yep, people are lining up to develop dotSuck).
