European NonSense

Breaking News: "According to new rules unanimously passed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or Icann, at its meeting here, any company, organization or country will soon be able to apply for a new Web address extension, called a top-level domain." New York Times Article

If everyone has a top-level domain, then no one will benifit from having a top-level domain. Addresses like .com and .org will be even more valuable. If Icann achieved anything it made it easier to distinguish top-level content from homemade content.

If everyone is Special, no one is Special.
