One story at:
http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/internet/04/03/ICANN.warns.domain.names.idg/index.htmlI
believe the following is demonstrably true:
.BIZ was used to cause conflict - to
delay introduction of new TLDs.
ICANN and predecessors have deliberately delayed
the introduction of new TLDs, to protect the trademark lobby - since the beginning
of the Internet.
No business could cause the mess ICANN have, without it being
deliberate - no other business is so grossly incompetent (without going under).
The
original .BIZ should have been let in and only unused TLD allowed by new companies.
Only
restricted TLDs should be treated differently - ie. to avoid disputes, guarantee
source of domain (.car .actor etc.)
The most needed TLD is .REG - to stop trademark
problems: name.class.country.reg
