Subject:	Should the Fortune 500 move from .com to .biz ??
Message:
According to your logic .biz makes more sense than .com for business. These new TLDs mark the start of problems, primarily confusion, dilution and disputes. If .info is a different mode of usage from .com and .biz is a different mode of usage from .com Then What mode of usage is dot com? Did ICANN manage to damage or destroy the goodwill that most domain holders have build around their DNS identities over the past five years or so, by promoting duplicate identities? Like your example of domaindisputes.com making less sense than domaindisputes.info Anyone who suggests that the owner of domaindisputes.com does not have a need to register the domaindisputes.info is kidding himself and will realize that when his .info domain's email is routed to his neighbor in the dot com by mistake.
