You just learned about this now?
In fact I did. I certainly haven't seen it mentioned on NANOG in the last 6
months or so; where should I have seen it?
New TLDs have been discussed now for over a decade. Press (both technical and
popular) on ICANN activities have ratcheted up significantly recently,
particularly with the approval of .XXX (which was recently discussed here on
NANOG: http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2011-March/034488.html). Not
blaming/accusing, just surprised this would be a surprise. I guess I've been
living in the layer9 cloud too long....

I've seen the stuff about adding a few extra TLDs, like XXX. I haven't
seen any references until now of them considering doing it on a
commercial basis. I don't mind new TLDs, but company ones are crazy
and going to lead to a confusing and messy internet.
