.XXX domain is coming

[HeatherWhite]

I heard that .XXX domain extension is coming. What do you think about this?

It's been debated for a while now at ICANN. If it comes out, there will be a land rush for it.

Presumably they'll give trademark holders first grabs.

Yes. That is right. I might purchase one too... just for fun

How much does it take, in comparison to dot com.

Why not make one for resale in the future... if it happens... its going to be huge... may as well make some money!

I would say it will be a disaster.

You cannot register .XXX yet. And if you are not in the adult biz or have trademarks you will need to wait till the landrush. Landrush willbe dec 6th if all does not get delayed. The EU is not too happy about this extension is joining forces with the US to get this dropped. Doubt they will be able todo it but delay's may be in order.

dot shop... This is a generic term and cannot apply for the new gTLD application yet. First round is only for brands (sony, canon, apple, ibm) and geo locations (paris , hamburg, nyc etc),

All the best names are sold now....
