no, it twas about having to register a crap ton of domains at once, if it was a one off deal like this, presuming that XXXXXX.whatever, where the XXXXXX is different costs the normal web address fee, or is even free as you own the .whatever, that would have been far less demanding, but 100k seams like to much, is there a real reason for this?

This does nothing but add to the complexity... and who says who gets to own the domain name for lets say .guitar? or .mozart? whoever can afford it to make money off of it. Now instead of people going to any of the various guitar.com's, they will all be funneled to the respective domain name. It will make the internet more complicated, and smaller at the same time.

What a complete crock. Since everyone except the prospective buyers themselves (.richcompany) has been completely priced out of the stratosphere for these domains, who the fuchs is going to care whether Fiat owns .fiat? Fiat.com is just as easy as fiat.fiat. No, easier.

What. Apple.apple? Mac.apple? How bloody stupid can you get? It'll be mac.mac. Microsoft.windows. Oh, all for the small fee of $185,000 plus $100,000/yr. upkeep.

It's pure extortion, and if I were Apple or Microsoft or anyone else I'd completely ignore it. It would be cheaper to sue the cybersquatters after the fact.

It will get very confusing i think. I i surely be bored to type something like www.macdonalds.macdonalds. Search engines would benefit most from this i think, unless you bookmark the website. To avoid any confusion or if you are just too lazy to type in a long web address, you just head on to a search engine and look it up there. I just hope their won`t be any google.google address, as it would drive me crazy.

Looks like ICANN needed some extra cash.

[citation][nom]digitalzom-b[/nom]Well, I could see a benefit to this...e.g. www.clothes.target would make it faster/easier to get to the point... maybe. I don' t know, this will probably end up being useless for a long time.[/citation]

...already got that. subdomains: clothes.target.com
