Their application makes no sense. I too am horrified by a window period.
Let me give a hypothetical situation. What if Palm wants to register palm.site
or palm.info or palm.web? They already have palm.com. Let some palm reader
get palm.info. Also, who's to stop Palm from reaping all the other related
domains like pda.site, pda.info, pda.web, handheld.site, handheld.info, handheld.web,
wireless.site, wireless.info, wireless.web? Where does it end? Choosing
Afilias would be horrible for the future of the internet. We need to let
smaller companies have a shot at it too. I am sick and tired of the "consortium"
of monopolists. They already are monoliths in the internet. Let someone
else have a chance. Someone like IOD who will do a superior job and has shown
it in their track record.
