Message:

Abacus America, Inc., they have some good, marketable extensions with broad appeal, i.e., .biz, .fam, and .xxx. Plus, registrars & zone file licensees could access more than one new extension through them…making the process more cost efficient and streamlining the programming process & time. One concern: the extensions are very broad and very marketable… would they become another Network Solutions-type giant with all the negative side effects?
