people would have to buy them off the person that registered it, at whatever price they wanted to sell it (the domain) for.
its all a conspiracy; build up a bunch of money and use it towards their regulating the internet initiatives
i can understand expanding to extensions with non-Latin characters but all this other stuff is flat out stupid.
good luck to anyone writing a regex to transform website mentions to clickable links...
... oh wait, nobody's going to be mentioning these ridiculous domains...

i had a thought about this, hence why im resurrecting this.
when you register your domain, we like to say that we own it, but we don't we're just leasing the domain for the given time period.
I wonder if the custom tlds give you some added level of protection, if apple owns .apple they can never be cybersquatted, they own that tld for life, they never have to worry about domains expiring, and they can easily create short domains for themselves
mac.apple
tv.apple
ipod.apple
This could actually be well worth the money for large corporations
also if it's permanent, what's stopping anyone from getting their own tld like .dude
And subletting the domain and become the exclusive registrat, boost up the prices, and no icann fees so boost up your profits

I think it's just a money grab by ICANN. What difference is it going to make? Spend $185,000, prove your brand name, just so you can have people goto http://my.coke/ instead of http://my.coke.com/? Big deal.
^Alla that.
I have no doubt whatsoever that the big corps are going to jump on these and we'll be using them daily to get to any & all big brands online.
First WF member with their own TLD is baller supremo!
Edit: It went through: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/20/us-internet-names-idUSTRE75G49W20110620
This was really inevitable. While it seems like a cash-grab when you consider existing large brands all have their own domain, the reality is that there aren't a ton of great .com names still available for newer companies, especially short ones, and squatters can wind up asking for more money than what ICANN is requesting for the new TLD's.
I for one am quite excited about this. I can now apply for cpa.goat

Here's the real question, is it 180K for just the TLD and you get unlimited regs?
Second question, can you legally sell domains under your TLD to other people not within the company?

Also consider this: Type-ins are huge portion of traffic with .com
*.planters and *.KFC just aren't going to get any type-ins... This traffic really is too specific and not searcher friendly. (For many years, perhaps not forever.)
