Got $100,000 You Can Have Your Own TLD
So ICANN in another attempt to make more money from nothingness is now going to allow anyone with $100,000 the ability to become it’s own domain registrar.
So that means you can expect to see some crazy top level domains like maybe .xxx, .sex, .pig, etc. This will clearly make it more confusing to the average joe and maybe even make it easier for phishers to catch a few credit card numbers or usernames and passwords.
ICANN must not realize that this isn’t going to help anything, of course this is great for people like Google and Yahoo, search engines are going to be incredibly necissary to navigate the net when you have thousands of top level domains to remember, I have a hard enough time trying to remember whether or not some websites are on a .com or a .net TLD, this will only make it harder.
So thanks ICANN, this is one more step towards making the internet a confusing and ridiculously insecure place. I salute you and your stupidity.
