Well, it's another TLD from Donuts, Inc., and last week brought us .LIGHTING and .EQUIPMENT from Donuts (along with 7 others). Just looking at the TLDs delegated so far without even looking at the 300+ other TLDs Donuts applied for, I'm guessing they'll be going out after all the electricians and plumbers of the world to try to convince them that they absolutely need to have a .lighting or .plumbing TLD. How well that will work, I don't know. I don't even know if my plumber has a website. (But then again, that may be their plan... go after that market with a domain / web hosting package, etc., all pre-set and ready to go.) I admit it would kind of be fun to have "internet.plumbing"... :-) (although it would actually be fun to have that domain and point it to the IETF's site.) Given the rate these TLDs are supposed to be released at, I expect these messages about domains being delegated will get to be old after a while... but at the moment there is a certain level of entertainment value in seeing them. Of course, when it will get really interesting will probably be in January or so when General Availability hits for some of these and we start seeing what levels of interest there really is in all these newgTLDs. Should be an interesting ride!
