    Re:Does .WEB exist any more ?
    by Anonymous on Tuesday April 13 2004, @01:10PM (#13371)
    I have seen plenty of .us .info and .biz names used in national print. Not as much as .com and .net and .org of course, but plenty.

    And they're in the root. New.net isn't.

    You're grasping at straws. New.net tried and failed. The body just doesn't know that the brain is dead yet.

    Why didn't new.net submit sponsored applications for its TLDs that are sponsorable? Why didn't they submit for .travel? Do you expect ICANN to just give it to them for free? At least .web paid the fifty thousand to establish their position. Do you think Cerf would have denied .web to Afilias if IOD hasn't applied?

    Go away and come back when you make sense. New.net is about as hard working as Mr. I Want 500 Names Name.space.

    You can bet my New.net domains are getting more traffic than your .us/.info/.biz names. I feel sorry for you. What is the traffic level for your .web names, btw? Another reason for you not to compare IOD and New.net. Apples and oranges, as you say. At least we established something. :))

    What happened to your spyware allegations? Seems like now you lost another ground. Typical naysayer. You're not the first one, nor will be the last one. Many of them had to pack their bags when they couldn't find mud to throw anymore.

    You go away and spend your time with more meaningful things like developing your .WEB names. Maybe you can help IOD little bit. But hey you have a visibility problem right? Sorry I forgot about it but still try to develop your .web names and don't worry about New.net. We have millions of Internet users covered.

    Paying 50,000 dollars in the past doesn't mean anything. The question is "Can you pay now?". IOD can't even sponsor a single ICANN event. And they should pay another 50,000. Why do you think Tralliance paid again for .travel?

    Once again, instead of wasting your time by throwing mud and making false accusations like 'New.net being a spyware', go help IOD. Looks like they're busy with some extra new projects as well.
