Why do you think, just because you have some good generic .com name, that you have
some sort of inalienable, God-given right to keep anybody from "undercutting" your
profits by getting a similar name in a new TLD? You seem to think that the Internet
should be run in order to maintain the profits of those lucky speculators who managed
to get the good names already. Anyway, there's more to the Internet than commercial
stuff. ".info" is *not* just a commercial domain -- it's usable for nonprofit
and personal sites as well. Though I do tend to agree with you that new TLDs
ought not be created in overlapping categories to add to confusion; it would be better
to create new TLDs that actually mean something and provide namespace for types of
entities that don't have a good place in the existing system. By that standard,
.name is the most sensible of the new TLDs, since it offers a space for personal
sites that is absent in the pre-existing TLDs.
