It does strike me as a very low barrier to entry business. Amazon could sell domains for 1$ more than versign charge them.

Google could bypass verisign completely and launch their own top level ___domain with their own root DNS and give away ".go" domains.




That could be likely with the introduction of the New Top-Level Domains: http://www.newtlds.tv/newtlds/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTLD#New_top-level_domains


The point of the internet is that somebody with enough servers and their own browser could easily introduce their own TLDs.


I understand what you mean technically, but I don't think the point of the internet is to let only companies like Google introduce TLDs.


I like the .go idea, sounds interesting and worth analyzing.
