    Thumbs down two more ccTLD's look to open registrations

    I read two news stories today of more ccTLD's that have their eye on getting more public registrations.

    .pw, the domain of the pacific islands of Palau is going to promote it as "Personal Website" for individuals and communities. They already have it in beta testing stage.

    Links to the stories:

    Looks like .cc/.tm/.ws/.tv/.la will have another memeber to their non-country country codes.

    It also appears .ie, the ccTLD of Ireland is looking to open up registrations in the next 18 months. I don't know if this would be for general world use or just more open like .us did open to citizens.

    If they all start doing this, ccTLD's will lose their intended meaning just like most of the global TLD's have done.

    screw it, let them open. It just makes the "real" TLDs more interesting

    The more interest in the internet the better it will be for everyone.

    Another country code won't make much difference. However, Ireland is becoming very internet and computer oriented.
