Triple X Adult TLD to Realize?

The triple X adult domain top level domain may be coming to the Web, industry watchers report. The domainers watching this industry quake wonder if the adult online industry, mostly composed of fee-paid video and image services related to pornography, can be a reasonable addition to Internet commerce as such. The lines are being drawn on both sides of the TLD divide.

Those watching the ICANN approval for XXX tld domains are agog after the early days of non-proliferation of web suffixes denoting non-general acceptable matter. While adult sites are a reality and a great commerce builder garnering record traffic and income in every demo, the fact remains they are not welcomed by every hosting company or router online.

Sexually explicit site masters and name owners would be expected to flock to the dot-triple-x tld. Yet the domains in existence now for adult and porn names would putatively lose value and legacy traffic. Not all webmasters are ready to give this up and conjoin their fray to a limited dot tld. Security   software makers and parental control mechanisms for computer devices would be affected.

The opposite side of the coin, the dot-kids suffix, was never approved by ICANN because it was deemed to difficult to patrol and protect. Can ICANN recover some of its lost luster as the Internet regulator? Or will ICANN critics finally have something solid to bring to bear in challenging the agency’s management and ongoing oversight of domain name and web issues? Time will tell.

FCC Cracks Down on Net Neutrality

Enjoy that download rate? Maybe not for long. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals said the FCC had overstepped its authority in mandating net neutrality and that ISPs should be free to manage traffic however they see fit. Note that under current law, the FCC does not have “untrammeled freedom” to regulate broadband services. The ruling was unanimous among the three judges on the panel.

Toilet.net sold for $750, a bargain?

Recently Toilet.net was sold for $750 and  it was a bargain for the buyer because it is a keyword .net domain and the keyword is essential for everyone on earth. Without toilets, you would be doing the dirty thing somewhere else. The domain has been registered since 2002 and the domain was sold at Sedo marketplace.

The keyword “toilet” was searched around over 11 million times per month (PHRASE search) and there are over 350,000 EXACT  searches per month.

I believe the buyer gets a good .net domain for a bargain price.
