For the record, I couldn't disagree more. The original US centric TLD structure was kind of fucked up, given that the Internet is a global system, and I think its the scarcity of TLDs that makes names artificially valuable. If there were a thousand different TLDs that you could register your website in why would you pay some squatter $500 for .com?

I agree that the list of followon TLDs was hit or mis, but I use .info, and I don't think .asia or .travel are terrible. The problem is the fundamental idea that some committee should decide what names are and are not useful. If I want to create a TLD, and I can do it responsibly, why should I not be able to pick any name I desire?
