If a TLD corresponding to a well-known trademark were awarded to any entity other than the trademark owner, there is a possibility that some users may be confused, or in a worst case, that the TLD might be used for abusive or criminal purposes. This of course depends on the string chosen, the policy associated with registration, etc., etc. Simply putting .delta into the root doesn't mean that airline consumers will be phished by the faucet people, vice versa, or at all. -- Regards, Ross Rader Director, Retail Services Tucows Inc. http://www.domaindirect.com t. 416.538.5492
