The Issue With the Making of TLDs

Even with close to 300 TLDs today, we’re still seeing more and more TLD’s being both proposed and approved as the internet continues to expand. While all of these extensions have interesting stories and endorsements backing them up, the creation of all these new TLD’s is just asking for trouble (especially in “Corporate America”).

We’re just asking for more trademark infringement claims and disputes. The more TLD’s that are out there, the easier it will be for cybersquatters to get a hold of domain names that infringe on a companies trademark(s). While most people would say that it’s the company’s responsibility to manage their trademark(s) and snatch these types of domain names before others do by cybersquatting, it’ll be nearly impossible for companies to monitor that, and realistically, it’s not fair to expect companies to monitor that.

We shouldn’t be making the internet a vulnerable place for cybersquatters to cybersquat. And that’s exactly what all these new TLD’s are allowing. In my opinion, it’s all a load of crap. We already have too many TLD’s why allow more to be in the making? Make sure to submit your comments below!

    I agree that there are already too many TLD’s out there, but there is nothing we can do about it.

    I do think there is room for niche suffixes such as .xxx and .gay.
