Indeed, 'shoes' was a bad example. But many of these new TLD's have been applied for by entities who plan on sub-letting the TLD to others.
- icebraining 14y agoThis is ~2,000 new TLD's. No, this is ~2000 TLD applications. We have no idea how many of those will ICANN approve. But many of these new TLD's have been applied for by entities who plan on sub-letting the TLD to others. My point wasn't that they won't sell domains, but that many or most won't sell them to any random shmoe like .com/.net/etc are sold, but only to businesses in the fields and how are willing to pay a lot more for the privilege, which doesn't describe scammers.
- obituary_latte 14y agoFair point about the approval. >but only to businesses in the fields and how are willing to pay a lot more for the privilege Here's to hoping you're right. Though, I doubt anybody would be surprised to find the bar vastly lower than you expect--especially when it comes time for these purchasers to recover some of the cost and find these fields are smaller than anticipated.
