Comment on ICANN is wrong

Comments

I've said it on the previous Dave Winer's article about it. I really don't get what's the big deal as long as the all the previous TLDs continue to exist and operate just like they have been operating.

Some enterprises will have the new fancy TLDs, good for them. The rest of us will have to keep going as we have been going (we might even get access some of the new TLDs.) I really doubt that, for example, having my.book will be a significant competitive advantage versus having mybook.com

What am I missing? (Yes, greedy ICANN is evil, but what else?)

So why do people still buy myname.com when myname.wordpress.com is ok?

myname.wordpress.com is not ok when compared with myname.com, but my.babe compared with mybabe.com or myba.be is ok
