Do you mind if I call you Bob? Since you're anonymous, I have to pick a name. So Bob it is.
So, Bob... it seems very easy for you to make personal attacks from behind an anonymous post. What projects I work on has little bearing on new.net's success or failure. I'm willing to continue the path we've set with .Web. If you disagree, I'm happy for you. Calling me a "follower" must make you feel better about your position. I'm happy for you about that, too.
But, Bob, sticking to facts - new.net's ISP arrangements are going nowhere, as they're not being advertised. My metric of success is when someone who knows little about the Internet as a whole understands what's available. Nobody knows about New.net because they don't advertise or get the word out. If they wanted to lead in this market, they'd be convincing everyone that they need to switch to a new.net enabled ISP.
And, Bob, I've told them as much. David Hernand and I spoke many times about this back when new.net was starting up. To date, I've yet to see them make a truly innovative move to get their plans forward. I'm willing to say this on the record and put my name to it. How about you?
Or shall I just keep calling you Bob?
Bottom line is - new.net will be pushing plug-ins and ISP deals that lose them money long after ICANN has opened the process. Perhaps new.net will use that open process to get a few of their TLDs into the roots. At that point, they will have done it after burning through cash and deals that would prove to have been irrelevant.
Time will tell.

You can call me Bob. I liked that. Why are you so furious? :)
Oh btw, don't worry about the money that New.net is burning (if they are really burning). Just focus on your .web project. Jealousy doesn't help you solve your .web problems.
True, time will tell

Why should anyone advertise these ISPs arrangements? The bubble is years behind. The average Internet user does not know about .info, .biz, .pro, .aero, .museaum, aero, .coop, too. New.net did it right to not burn the money they have.
You have not seen any truly innovative move to get their plans forward? Maybe you should look closer. They do the wildcard thing which Verisign had to dismiss for a long time now. They bundle their plug-in with highly popular software. They offer their registrants a free listing within their ppc search engine. Has any registry done this before?
You must be ignorant. You say they loose money. That is totally wrong. New.net is profitable for over a year now. You may read their press releases. I hear you say:"I don't give a shit about press releases". Okay, then think about what Verisign could earn with its wildcard/sitefinder service. It could be about 100 million p.a. New.net is doing the same thing with their plug-in. There are about 100 million via plug-in enabled New.net users out there. Now think about how much money one could make with this user base or more precisely with the error traffic of these users.
Bottom line is - new.net does making money and ICANN cannot introduce a TLD which collides to a New.net TLD because those 100 million user will still be routed the the New.net version of that TLD. Nice ;-)
