Could you elaborate on this unlimited TLD? I'm a bit out of the loop (but had heard of the .porn TLD!). What's going on? Isn't this going to cause a lot of confusion and compound the issue of domain squatters?



Anyone can apply for and potentially get, a top level domain. If you can prove that you deserve it more than everyone else, then it's yours (sort of).

Well, they could years ago. The application period ended in April 2012. http://archive.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/gtld-facts-31ju...


I thought it costs 180k a year to run a TLD?
