Roger,See, I disagree. Registrants are best served not by giving them what they WANT -- any old domain they choose -- but what they NEED -- domains under which they can be found.
Your assuming that TLD's are created to make the internet easier to
access. Totally disagree. TLD's should be created to give domain
registrants a CHOICE so that THEY can DECIDE what name THEY want to
CHOOSE to interface with prospective or existing customers, family,
friends etc. What TLD it (the domain) lives in has little baring on the
accessibility of the internet.
I disagree totally with the registrant-centric view of the net.
My 85 year old grandmother who is a fantastic web user has no clueThen why don't we just change them all to .shmizzle, .dsfsdf, .54gfg, etc.? They are bounded with MEANING to make things easier to locate.
regarding difference between TLD's...Heck she shouldn't...but she sure
does know how to google!! ;)
