ICANN Goes .bonkers
,----[ Quote ]
| For the former, it means that domain names will turn into a kind of
| protection racket: every so often, somebody will come up with some new
| domain – things along the lines of .mug, I imagine – that all companies will
| be invited to sign up for, just to protect their trademarks, you understand.
|
| For end-users, the already-confusing system of domains will become utterly
| impossible to grasp. This means that phishing schemes and
| generally-fraudulent Web sites will become almost trivially easy to
| implement. The public simply won't know which domain name to trust, with the
| result that confidence in e-commerce, and maybe even the entire Web, will
| collapse.
