Why the new domain-name lottery is a train wreck
http://j.mp/LU6qI1 (Gigaom)
"Do we really need addresses that end in .beer or .movie? ICANN seems
to think that we do, and the lottery to determine which ones are
ultimately accepted got under way on Wednesday. The agency seems to
think this will increase competition, but it seems more likely to
cause unnecessary chaos and upheaval."
