"In regards to New York's MTA...they don't even have their website properly configured...try
MTA.COM without the "www." part and one gets page not found - so much for a good
example of a .INFO site."Ummm... how, exactly, is an alleged misconfiguration
of a .com site in any way evidence of how an unrelated .info site is a "bad example"?
It's like saying that you found some spoiled apples at a grocery store on Fifth Street,
and thus it proves that a different grocery store that's on Fifth Avenue can't be
trusted to sell oranges that aren't spoiled. (That's taking "comparing apples
and oranges" to a new level...) Anyway, there's no Internet standard that says
that any website address needs to function without the "www." hostname (or *with*
it, for that matter). It's perfectly legitimate to set up a website under whatever
hostname you want, though "www" is traditional.
"Also, take a look at who owns
MTAINFO.COM...it ain't the New York's MTA. Illustrates well, that even if the .INFO
domain one wants is available, they will almost be forced to also register the domainINFO.COM
version too in order to protect themselves from domain name speculators and traffic
brokers."
Ummm, again... how exactly does an example of somebody who's using
a .info site without owning the corresponding "...info.com" site "prove" that one
is forced to own both names? Is this supposed to be an "exception that proves
the rule"? I own black pants, but don't own a matching black shirt --
this proves that owners of black pants need to also own black shirts, right?
