This is what ICANN and other companies that follow them "like cows"
end up with by creating an artificial shortage of TLDs. Many of the
companies
that applied one year ago could have been operational immediately following
the absurd ICANN Board meeting where TLDs were tossed in and out of
shopping carts like cartons of milk. People's lives were tossed around like
loaves of bread. You are just now seeing the results of that travesty.
