We should also consider doing away with the TLDs. You can't argue with the
fact that the majority of them are dot-coms anyway. I would like very much
for people to find my website by just typing "GUNDY".
I couldn't agree more. I am fine with one reserved for the government, but
country-specific tlds on the _world-wide_ web and companies having to
purchase the .net, org, .ca, uk, etc, version of their domain is stupid.
I agree with you, to the extent that they are used these days. They were
created for an extra level of classification. However, that classification is
not used. Thus, TLD's are currently superflous.
If TLD's were used like they were supposed to be, then I would disagree that we
should get rid of them. It would make classifying web sites and other things
much easier. For example, if ".net" was used only for network, and ".com" was
used only for commercial businesses, and ".porn" was used only for you know
what, etc. ad naseum.
