I agree with Ted, it's just another useless TLD, and just another waste. There are plenty of TLD's, and another stupid TLD is meaningless.
Nobody will use it, and it's just a waste. I see no real benefit as well. Users could simply keep their current domain name, and just use a " grid.domain.com" no reason to create a whole new domain name, just for the grid server. You don't go out and get a whole new domain name just for your mail server, so I can't imagine why you'd need one for your grid server. Seems foolish. You can host your web, mail, and grid all on your same domain. No reason to put it on a separate domain. Makes no sense. I see no real benefit as well. It makes more sense to just stick with the current geographic/organizational structure that is currently in use. No reason for another silly TLD.
