.web didn't make much sense to me as an extension. It would be as useful as .ftp. The internet is more than just the Web, so an organization that invested in a .web would look foolish as the internet changes. .web is a subdomain trying to be a TLD.
I think a lot of the IP holders are sick of wannabe TLDs like this one, looking to extract more money from TM-holders that need to protect their brands. Given the failure of .biz and .info, I think there's a strong case that we need no further TLDs for a while.

Your logic, if reduced to fundamentals, says that your choice supersedes IOD's. Why should that be? Why should they not be allowed to suceed or fail based on their own efforts and own money?
As for the cry's of trademark holders - they are perfectly capable of going to Congress and asking for legislation that says "a name in another TLD does not weaken a mark."
Trademark law is being used to block innovation - that is very, very wrong.

Yeah George, sure thing. Your skewed view is that of a .com afficionado, right? I mean, in the speculator forums like domainstate.com and dnforum.com you're always looking for .com's, right? The names you've aggresively gone after on the drop ... all .com's, right?
