Hello,In my humble opinion, adding more gTLD's is the easy way out. Why
not migrate to a real-name system of domain names and do away with "something.something.something"
notation altogether?
Companies or individuals would register their real names instead
of ".something.something". Existing domain names would simply roll-into the "real-names"
directory.
For Example, all of the following "real names" would map to the same
site:
"Apple Computer, Inc." --+
"www.apple.com" ---------+---> IP Address for
Apple
Real-names would not be limited to 16, 32, 64, or even 128 characters --
how about a limit of 255 or 512? Unicode format?
Restrictions may have to
be placed so that individual words cannot be registered. For example, the single
word "Apple" could not be assigned to www.apple.com.
Obviously, this would be a
significant change that would have to be supported by the next generation of web
browsing clients.
It just seems that a real names solution is, for the end-user,
a better evolutionary step than simply tacking on new gTLD's.
