>Let's look at the case of Apple. All companies named Apple, with a trademark
on "apple", in all different industries, had a shot at apple.info and apple.biz.
Whoever registered it first got it. That was fair.Apple already have apple.com
- it is hardly fair for them to be allowed in for apple.biz, apple.info etc. - when
all the other trademarks have not got theirs - is it?
Apple Computers can afford
more domain 'lottery tickets' than the smaller business, can't they?
Given the
slow rollout of TLD - the smaller businesses will NEVER get a chance for apple.TLD,
will they?
I am sure apple (the fruit) distributors would quite like a good short
name for commerce on the Internet also.
