"There is no real difference between me.web.com or me.webtld.com, or me.some-goody-nth-level-domain.com."There
is huge difference. See the link below.
"Sounds like to me that the only
person who would make tons of money in this scheme is the person who owned web.com
and web.net."
Only if ICANN approves IOD as dot-web main-root registry soon after
IOD purchased web.net from the owner. Otherwise, IOD and IOD's clients [dot-web
domain holders] would make more money. And that would increase with delays
in ICANN's approval [if ever].
I admit that buying web.com is costlier [and therefore
probably less advisable] than buying web.net [as I indicated in other posts].
"Your
idea is a losing proposition from every direction in which it is examined.
I am sorry that we obviously don't agree on this point. If you are so keen
on the idea, why don't you run out and buy web.com and web.net, and bypass IOD altogether?
After all, you stand to make tons of money!"
