Subject:	.biz will follow .net   into nowhereland
Message:
My prediction for the future of .biz names is that they will become worthless. .biz is a cacophonic extension which ignores the market demand for names. Very few of the internet's web sites are based solely upon business (finance yes but business no) and .biz is a very narrow name. ICANN would have been better off releasing names such as .med .law .shop .news .inc. etc.
