That is why more TLDs would be an answer. No matter how you slice it, there is only one word called "Business" unless you go to non-English languages. There is only one word called "Sports." One word per word limit in the world as I know it, with the current law of linguistic physics.

If we were to deem that there are 500 TOP words in the English language insofar as e-Commerce is concerned, then at best you would get 500 different people owning them. I might be able to fit them all in my backyard; so long as someone brings the hotdog buns, I will be fine.

But these words spread out to these individuals doesn't help the other 6,999,999,555 on the planet. In the end, the only way to distribute the words to a significant number of people is to create additional extensions.

I wonder. Maybe each person can be their own TLD. Business.bob could then be a valid SLD-TLD.

But oh, there is more than one Bob.

Numbers, numbers. Can you imagine the search engines then?

. . . You want mustard on that hotdog?
