    The fact that they’ve run a (very) successful auction only a few days after launch is absolutely amazing. The only thing that’s every convinced me that I was completely wrong about the gTLDs — is .VIP.

    Fast-forward 12-18 months and this may become one of the extensions-of-choice for firms in China, as well as those wanting to do business in China.

    Simply amazing.

    I see Restroom.Vip is taken. In the future we’ll have three distinct bathrooms: Mens, Womens, and VIP.
